Well quick update I feel is apparant.

Just finished a week of taking 150mg pregabalin and have started to pick up. Had the day from hell Wednesday but then slowly things have turned around and I hope things are on the up. Am not counting any chickens yet cos have done that before and gone backwards but am optimistic things are improving.

Have read and been told that pregabalin is not really very effective in doses of below 150mg so maybe that is why?? I have increased slowly and found that yes I have felt a bit shaky (still do just after taking the meds) and a bit sleepy but it is copeable.

Hope everyone o.k.

Hey Jo
That's great news - know how you feel about counting chickens......... steady progress is the way to go I keep telling myself. Slowly but surely we will get there.
Have a good Sunday.

Just a quick up-date. The pregabalin are really working. The last bad day I had was Wed 16th June!!! From then I just picked up and now feel that they are really helping me!! I did go back to see my GP last week and he said about taking an extra 50mg (presently I take 100mg at night and 50mg in the mornings) but I haven't felt the need to and I seem to have stabilized at 150mg. I now need to decide wether to come off the mirtazipine?? Am going to wait at least another week to make sure I have settled down then make a decision.

Hope everyone else doing o.k..

I'm really pleased to hear that you're feeling better Jo. I would stick to your current dose. You could ask for the 75mg capsules if you want but I don't think you should change anything atm if you're feeling well.

I've been getting a lot of daytime tiredness but OK apart from that

Hi Alex,

Glad you feeling better. Thankyou so much for introducing me to pregabalin.

Take care.
