scared to take pregabalin

[KK77]

I hope no news is good news on the JT front? I'm pleased you seem to be doing so well. How have you been lately?

I reduced my dose of sertraline as it felt too strong. I'm biting a bit off the 100mg tablet at the moment hoping that it equates to about 75mg. It's something that people shouldn't try at home lol. I'll reduce to 50mg when I go on hol next week (all being well).

Keep up the good work Jo

Had a lovely time Jo, thanks. Back to work now but feeling OK, touch wood lol.

So, how have you been? Do you think the pregabalin has made a difference?

Hi,

I thought I would update my post to help anyone on the pregabalin road.

I think they have made such a difference to me I am so glad I took them. I now take 100mg in the morning and 100mg at night...yes I still have some anxiety but nothing like I did have. I have also managed to reduce the mirtazipine to 15mg and hope to completely come off them but need to visit my GP first to make sure he agrees.

I agree its better to take the meds with or after food as I struggle with anxiety first thing in a morning and often cannot eat and when I take the meds makes me feel spaced out etc and sleepy but when I can eat I feel much better after taking the meds, hardly anything to comment on.

Anyone thinking of going down the pregabalin road...go for it...the best thing I ever did!!!

Really pleased it's all worked out for you Jo. I know how anxious you were about it in the beginning and I think you were very brave in the way you handled it.

I've yet to come across ANY med which is a total "cure" but I must say that it's helped me immensely. Of course we'll still have good and bad days but life is like that.

Well done and take care.
