Hi guys,

Long-time reader of this website but first time posting.

I’ve been on Pregabalin since mid-2015, originally at 100mg per day and increasing to 300mg in 2017. It’s been great and really helped with GAD, although there have still been limitations in terms of travelling i.e long distances by car.

However, after two years of doing well at 300mg and being able to do more than I have in a long time, the anxiety crept back in just after Christmas, almost to how it was before I started on Pregabalin.

I went and saw the psychiatrist at the start of January who’s increased the Pregabalin to 400mg which I’ve now been on for a week (not sure how long it’s meant to settle in), although no improvement as of yet. I’m trying to view this as a setback as opposed to the Pregabalin having stopped working but am struggling. Any advice/reassurance would be greatly appreciated!
