anyway i dont get any sort of feeling taking it now but it works really well for stopping anxiety (i dont get any anxiety at all now, literally none)
i have not experienced any problems with memory loss myself, in fact quite the opposite. now that my mind is clearer again and not filled with depression and anxiety (i take 150mg venlafaxine each day along with the 300mg pregabalin at night), i have been learning some new things, mathematics to be more specific, it is something i wanted to learn for a long time but i always had poor concentration and poor memory. amazingly now i am learning it really well and remembering it really well, so if you do hear stories about pregabalin causing memory loss, then rest assured that doesnt apply to everyone, and for me it has turned out to be quite the opposite. my memory is fine, better than ever
Excellent news, Sun. Always good to read positive stories about meds, amidst the usual doom and gloom of "increased anxiety" and waiting for them to "work"
