Hi all,
I am on a low dose of Sertraline but psychiatrist recommend Pregabalin and when i read the side effects it did put me off. I have anxiety but it isnt crippling, i can still work but can have panic attacks in busy places. I thought id try and started off on 25mg at night 4 days ago and noticed side effects immediately- feleing off balance and abit drunk. I carried on and 3 days in started to feel strange weekness and faint at work. This is not normal for me and it got me worried as one of the main reasons i can be anxious is with a fear of fainting. I still dont feel well and have decided to not carry on as i dont think any medication is worth feeling like this for. I just wondered if anyone else has experienced this and still carried on? I just hope the side effects wear off really quickly as want to feel less ill.
