Hi,
Recently started on 25mg lyrica 3x a day. I used to self medicate with lyrica I bought online and had some positive response, so my doc prescribed me it. The doses I took when I self-medicated were higher, taking 150mg once a day in the evening.
Last night, on day 2, I went to a restaurant with my sister. I wasn’t massively anxious, but I was feeling like I wasn’t just there and not really contributing much. Until I had a coffee for dessert and then when I got home my head was spinning, I was crying and my mind wouldn’t stop. I recently fell out with my best friend who has cut contact with me, so that’s why I’ve been down.
Today I woke up and felt really spaced out. Is the coffee/lyrica a bad combination? I have social anxiety and depression so caffeine does help perk me up to communicate with people at the expense of some GAD.
Worried lyrica will just dull me if I’m taking it every day but I start a really stressful job in January and need to get my anxiety sorted if I can. However, I’ve always been depressed and worry about lyrica making that worse.
