Hi,

I have GAD and have been taking 300mg of pregabalin for the last two months. It has help a little but still extremely anxious. My next step is either to increase to 400mg or turn to venlafaxine.

Has anyone ever been on pregabalin and venlafaxine at the same time and did it work? Also what doses were you on?

Thanks,

Andy

      Hi Jacko,

      In the end I decided not to mix medications. I have had a lot of trouble with SSRI and SNRI drugs. They tend to make me feel very foggy. So just stayed with the pregabalin.

      I'm doing better than I was.

      Thanks

      Hi Andy. That's good am glad your doing better. I do find the pregabalin makes me feel detached and spaced out. But it defo helps so going to stick with it. Wish one tablet lasted all day as well.
