Question : Have you ever heard of anyone suffering from severe indigestion after only 3 doses> I also take Repatha. Could it have been an interaction?

Detailed Answer:
Hello, and thanks for your question.

Lyrica (pregabalin) has a known side effect of indigestion that can occur in 1-10% of people. Normally, this occurs after taking a few doses, and usually goes away within a couple weeks as your body gets used to the medication. If it persists beyond two weeks, you can consider switching to a different medication, or simply treating the indigestion with Tums, Ranitidine, or a PPI such as Nexium.
