Hi again
I'm still on pregabalin, went up to 250 mgs per day 12 days ago and still having problems with my anxiety.
I see my doc again in a few days and he will likely ask me to increase my dose again.
I don't have any bad side effects but I'm afraid if go higher I might start getting them. I'm particularly afraid of developing swelling in the extremities and then congestive heart failure.
If anybody can help me with this fear I would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Mugs

This drug is so new here, I don't know anyone else on it.

Hey mugs
My personal experience was that I only found some positive effect from Pregabalin from 300mg or over. Very little side effects to mention. I have so found this to be a fairly safe and easy med to take
