Anxiety returned despite upping dose

[Greycylinder]

I am upset and worried because my doctor has upped my side to 100mg in the morning and 75mg at night. I am getting worse again. Is this normal ? I am beyond disappointed because I really thought this was working. 😣

Some tolerance can develop when first taking pregabalin (and also tolerance to side effects). If you are taking 175 mg per day, that is still in the lower range, and there is room to increase the dose. Most people reach a level that is right for them and stabilises - you do not need to keep increasing forever. Good luck.

Thank you. It's re-assuring. I am coping with a difficult home situation so that is contributing too. Appreciate your reply.
