Constipation

I started taking Lyrica/Pregabalin a few days ago for potential nerve pain issues. I feel okay on it, however, since I've started I haven't had a bowel movement. Worse, however, is that I don't feel the urge to go at all and haven't gone for 3 days. I'm not constipated as in get the urge and then can't, but I'm literally not feeling the need to go. I'm a bit worried about this side effect as it's been several days and I've not felt the need.
Any ideas whether this is particularly bad? Should I stop the medication or is there anything I can eat/do to get things going?
