Hi there all
I'm Chris have suffered anxiety and depression for 30 years, i have worked in that time but I've been out of work more than in, two and a half years ago I was told I was fit for work and my benefits were stopped, I managed to get a part time cleaning Job on zero hours as that was all I could manage , it was ok because I could pick and choose how much I wonted to do. In July 2015 I was doing so well took on a permanent contract 21 hours a week doing hours in the evenings as them hours suited me and all went well till last December when I had what I can only describe as a panic attack in the tattooist but as I have only had 3 or 4 of these attacks and they don't seem to me to be quite the same as what others describe so I'm not sure if they are, (but I guess they must be) since then things have gone from bad to worse, I have been off work since
I'm still waiting to get an appointment at the mental health centre. Things got so bad that I asked my doctor to increase my pregabalin and he did after 3 attempts from 75 too 100 two times a day, I only started to take them on Saturday and have still been talking a 75 in the morning and 100 about 4 pm.(I'm also on 40mgs of citalopram a day) And that's what I am still doing. I'm not feeling any better worse if anything.
I feel more tried and feeling more anxious for a lot longer.
I was just wondering if anyone else has similar experience with pregabalin and could give me any edvice , any help would be much appreciated, sorry if I have written to much and given to much information, this is my first post on here or anywhere like it.
Thanks very much if you took the time to read this and more if you reply,,
All the best chris
