PREGABALIN
Posted , 9 users are following.
Has anyone tried pregabalin as an add on, if so what was your experience, I mainly have anxiety, but that stops me from doing certain things and thats when the depression starts.
Love to hear from anybody with similar exprienc or just the pregabalin, I have only been on it a week, and due to double the dose to 300mg tomorrow.
Thanx
Colette.

I am on Sertraline 150mg and Mirtazapine 30mg daily. Psychiatrist has started me on 50mg twice a day of Pregabalin to see if I can tolerate it. Said he didn't expect to see anything positive in the short term. Wants me to try it for three weeks to make sure no side effects or reactions. I was adamant I would not (and will not) take Lithium and he tells me the side effect profile of Pregabalin is generally mild and well tolerated so we shall see.
Only started Friday so nothing positive to report but equally, no serious side effects as yet except a bit of a muzzy head which I am hoping will lessen.
Good luck and best regards.

It is bad enough trying to keep your weight down on Mirtazapine without anything else contributing :roll: :roll:

Hows the pregabalin going, I am up to 300mg of this week and feel very sleepy and dizzy, hope this wears off.
Did your dr tell you how long this new med takes to work, mine just said everybody different(sick of hearing that one).
He also would not give me the new med until I was off mirt, thats another story ,getting of that. But I still have to take seroxat, also been on diazapine for 3 years 5mg 3 times a day, so when all this has settled down and the new med works I am hoping to get of that.
Take Care

You're right, I have been through a whole catalogue of AD's none of which seem to work. At least the Sertraline in the morning/Mirtazapine at night combination means I can sleep and find some energy to do something during the day.
I've not tried the drug you mention though - I hope it helps you and works for you. I think this try with Pregabalin is the last throw of the dice for me in terms of drugs. Taking three different ones each day is enough for anyone.
Colette, the news on side effects from me is encouraging. I have got over the muzzy head stage and whilst at the low dose I am on there is no improvement in the anxiety, at least I seem to be able to tolerate the stuff. Hope your problems with feeling spaced out are improving and it's making a difference for you.
All the best.

I suffer from social phobia , anziety disorder , stress disorder and social phobia, i feel like im a complete mess, i take lots of meds but none make me feel better, I feel locked out of the world, i dont want to go out into it, im happy in my comfortzone . which is hope. if i need shopping i wait till late at night when its much quieter and my 2 children come with me, they are my young carers, So back to the subject, does anyone know if the dose can be put up, i did start on 50mg 3 times a day but no effect at all .
