Hi, I am 18 years old, I was prescribed lyrica pregabalin 25 mg on two instances after a shoulder injury. The first prescription was in January 2019 and the treatment lasted 2 months. After which the pain subsided but returned in November 2019, when I have prescribed lyrica again 25 mg twice daily. I have had no side effects until I realised my menstrual cycle was late, when I am very regular. Could this be from the lyrica, and if so how long do these symptoms last and how late could I be for my menstrual cycle?

Hi lybrate-user. Certain studies show that pregabalin affects menstrual cycle. But it is absolutely fine if one of your menstrual cycle is a bit late. It would be a concern only if every menstrual cycle is abrupt or delayed. There can be a lot of reasons of your menstrual cycle to be delayed, one of them is stress. I would say eat healthy and sleep well and wait until your next cycle.
