Venlafaxine and Pregabalin

[miracleboy]

Is anyone else on this mixture? I've read lots of positive things about the combination. I have been on Ven for over 10 years, until recently on a low 75mg maintenance dose, but have had some recent breakthrough anxiety an panic, so this was upped to 150mg about a month ago. I have also started Pregabalin 100mg daily and am on day 5. I think the intention is to move me up to the therapeutic dose for GAD which is 400-600mg. It's very hard to tell so far if it's having any effect. I have had a couple of side effects - dry mouth, headaches - but the headaches at least went after a couple of days.

I am on 75 for a month how long does it take to kick in

Should be feeling it soon, max two weeks more probably. If nothing maybe you need to chat to doctor about going up to 150mg.

Just a quick update on Ven day 3 of 75mg. I feel great! A little bit of heartburn during the day and woke up a few times during the night but generally feeling really well with no anxiety at all! Long may it continue��

Great news Lilisa! Are you on Pregabalin also?
