do you have the derealization/depersonlization at all?
Hi Kayla-Marie
Pregabalin is licenced for Generalised Anxiety Disorder, not OCD or panic.
As for derealisation, I've had that constantly since waking up with it one morning when I was 12 (in 1978) that followed a traumatic period in which I had life-saving brain surgery.
Depersonalisation I've only ever had with acute depression, so it never lasted long.

Hi hanshan
I intend to carry on with Pregabalin indefinitely despite the fact the beneficial effects seem to have disappeared, just in case they come back. It might be the effects are so subtle I'd only notice their absence if I came off it.
I've taken 2x40mg of Propranolol these last 2 days, and apart from slightly more disrupted sleep than normal, and a bit of dizziness, no major side effects.
