Lyrica for anxiety 75mg twice a day
Posted , 39 users are following.
Started on the above 10 days ago. First capsule i took i was asleep not long after, woke up feeling in a daze, doctor advised me to have one a day for few days. I have been taking two a day for 8 days. In this time, i have fell downstairs twice, developed a rash, past two days have had an intense pain above my right eye, not as bad as a migraine, but definately more than a headache, im not due to see Dr until another two weeks.. Hopefully the side effects will go as time goes on. I am also taking sertaline with these, i must admit i feel more like a zombie than alive lol. Guess im posting to see if anyone has used both before ? how did you feel?
Thank you

What doctor prescribed the Lyrica to you? Your regular primary care doctor or a psychiatrist since you a using it for anxiety? I'm desperate for something new. I've been on many SSRI'S, SSNRIS, Antipsychotics, mood stabilizer, benzodiazapine's, etc. I've built up a tolerance to everything so nothing really works anymore. My anxiety is getting out of hand. Thanks!

I started pregablin 5 days ago and I already feel the difference. I was having severe panic attacks literally all day and even waking up in panic, I have gad, panic disorder and agoraphobia. Since starting the tablets I have had mild panic attacks but nothing major and thats only at 75mg a day, Im upping to 150 in next few days as that's the thereputic dose. I can't say how they will work in the future but for me theyve helped massively so far x

It was just my doctor but they did speak to a psychiatrist for me as I've also tried srris but I'm allergic, and have to be careful with others as they can increase your heart rate and I'm already on calcium channel blockers to slow my heart as it races constantly. X
