pregabalin/lyrica

Hi Joy - can you tell me how you are getting on with the Pregabalin? I started taking it a week ago - 75mg x2 daily - I have just started to benefit from it, anxiety is definately down however feeling drunk and in a daze. Am worried if doctor increases dosage the side effects will double? Would love to hear how you are getting on with it now?

I'm not doing very well sadly increased dosage to 200mg last week. feel shaky and poorly most of the time, waiting for shrink to ring to say what next. Sometimes I think the anxiety is better but still get waves of it at times

im afraid it didnt work for me either. I was prescribed it for pain and anxiety but it made me have chest pains which of course made me more anxious so i stopped taking it. I seem to havebad reactions to everything

Does anyone know if it helps to increase the dose? I am on 150mg daily, been taking it for 3 weeks - at first I just felt a little drowsy and had a noticeable affect on my anxiety however 3 weeks on and I have started feeling nauseous, slightly anxious and drunk. Is it time to increase the dosage or come off it? Any help would be really appreciated.
