Hi
I started taking Pregablin just over a month ago. It has done wonders for my anxiety but I am a little concerned about the side effects.
I also take oestrogen and progesterone as an alternative to anti-depressants (because literally none of them have worked for me over the past 10 years!)
Since taking Lyrica my ankles and feet have become really quite swollen. I have also put on about half a stone. My period has also not come this month. I'm not sure if that is related to the Lyrica or not. My periods are regulated normally to happen on the 10th of every month due to the hormone therapy I am prescribed. So far I have not had a bleed this month (although I am having the pains) and last month it only happened for a day and a half and was very light.
My GP previously said I needed to ensure I was having periods because of the hormones and the risk of complications if I didn't bleed. So now I am a bit worried.
However, the receptionist at my GPs is a b***h. She is very rude every time I ring and I get anxious at the thought of having to speak to her. And to top things off, there are a number of GPs at the surgery and I can't remember which one prescribed me the Pregabalin! Having a bit of a depressive episode at the moment.
