I've been diagnosed with PIVD at L4-L5 and have been taking pregabalin NT along with calcium and vitamin D supplements for the past 8 months. Since surgery wasn't needed, I'm wondering how much longer I'll need to stay on these medications. Are there any long-term side effects I should be aware of with pregabalin NT or the supplements?

Long-term pregabalin use can cause dizziness, drowsiness, and weight gain. Supplements are safe unless overdosed. Continue meds until MRI and symptoms show complete relief.
