I have thought about it before and my GP did offer it but last time I messed with my medication it didn't go that well. About 18 months ago I tried moving from Prozac (15 years of it) to Mirtazapine but it didn't work out. :blush: She suggested Pregabalin at the same time but I could only deal with one med at a time.
I got hooked on valium recently after trying to give up my alcohol addiction and I am ten days cold turkey after a year of pretty constant use/abuse? I ended up taking too many, with alcohol the next day and self harmed and had to go to A and e. So I am seeing the substance abuse nurse right now. Resigned from job too. :weep: I have 2 amazing kids they deserve a better Mum than this. Job wasn't worth the pressure.
Soooo... still on 40 mg prozac which I have taken for years. But my anxiety today has been horrendous so I may ask GP re: Pregabalin as one last medication try. Waiting for more counselling too. If GP lets me try pregabalin I will let you know. :winks:
