Thread: Pregabalin Increase

    Pregabalin Increase

    Please excuse my poor English, it's not my first language.
    I am currently on 300mg pregabalin and my psychiatrist have informed me that I can increase with 150mg every 7th day until I reach max dosis. My question is if it will be ok to increase with 75mg every 3½ instead?

    Hi Tlunau - Probably yes, but you should follow your psychiatrist's directions - the end result will be the same. Another point is that you may not need to go up to the maximum dose. You may find after a week that 450 mg per day is working okay.

    Thank you very much for your reply Hanshan. I will follow my psychiatrist recommendations then.
    The reason I asked is because I feel the Pregabalin is helping, but I still have anxiety.

    Re: Pregabalin Increase

    Hi Tlunau - Are you taking any other medication? It's possible to combine pregabalin with an antidepressant or other med. Psychiatrists are usually the best ones to work out what fits best for you. Good luck with pregabalin - a number of people here have found it very helpful.

    Yeah I am on a antidepressant and seroquel, but I find that Pregabalin is the drug, which is really working relative to my anxiety.
    I have high hopes for Pregabalin.
