Hi everyone.. a few questions about pregabalin if you don’t mind answering..

For anxiety.. what do you take alongside pregablin, any other anti anxiety medication or medication for depression?

How long did it take for the drug to improve your anxiety? What dose are you on?

How long after taking a tablet do you feel affects of that one tablet?

Did you have any side effects within the first few days? If so what?

Thank you

    I took pregabalin for my anxiety. 50mg twice a day was the most I took. I had no side effects at all introducing it. After about 10 days my anxiety and GAD that I've had for 30 years improved by 90%....unfortunately after 2 days it came back, then I had the incredibly hard job of trying and get off of this awful drug.

    I took pregabalin for only a few weeks and it took me about 4 months to come off of them, the withdrawal for me was the worse than any other medication I've taken, it created more anxiety for me that I'm still trying to recover from now.

    I had high hopes for this drug, no more drugs for me...I'm sticking to my red wine!
