I've started this diary as after being prescribed it I looked for posts which talked about people experiences on it, but couldnt find anything in-depth so decided to start one that covers the first few weeks of taking it, so I hope some people find it useful, so any criticism will be useful!
A little background about me ! I've had depression and anxiety for years, most of the time it will be fine, but occasionally it becomes very severe. I also have epilepsy and will occasionally have a seizure, this year I've had three causing my anxiety to become very severe.
I've had diazepam in the past but spent 18 months getting off the vile stuff. I also cant take anti-depressants because they can lower your seizure threshold.
I take propanolol but that doesnt quite do it, so after a bit of research Pregabalin seemed to be the perfect thing, an anti-convulsant and used for GAD, so I decided to give it a go!
I'll continue the start of my journey on another post!
