Hi everyone

I am on day 3 of pregabalin 150mg, I take 50mg 3 times a day, so morning,afternoon and before bed.
I am taking them for anxiety.

I also take 15mg escitalopram daily for depression.

I suffer from long term-anxiety, depression and anorexia.

Day 1- I actually felt good, maybe placebo effect but had a good day
Day 2- felt ok, apart from feeling like a had low blood pressure, light headed and felt hot
Day 3- felt very drowsy,lightheaded, I've stayed in bed nearly all day.


I've had this med prescribed before but didn't take it as I was scared of the side effects, but my anxiety is so high at the moment,I am willing to try it to help with my daily panic, so I am actually giving this med a good go, I know there probably will be some side effects, but unless they are too difficult to cope with, I am going to go with them.

I am mainly sacred of the risk of weight gain. When I was on olanzapine, I gained two stone in two months, that freaked me out so much I stopped taking them.

I will try and update about how these meds are working for me x
