Pregabalin 75mg x 2

Have you contacted the prescribing dr or another gp to verify if that's known side effects to that specific drug or maybe switch the medication all together? Most side effects from a lot of these kinds of medication usually clear up with the first ten days and leave only lingering ones behind, I'm on Celexa and had terrible effects for 3 days and was left dizzy/cloudy and more prone to anxiety and panic attacks from that point until yesterday which was 21 days before I felt over 50% of my self since first dose today I feel like I just got over a cold or something but prolly 90% of myself, I'm not sure about that particular med so I would maybe double check with a dr just for safety's concern

Janet, these are well-known side-effects to pregabalin.

It was invented for epilepsy and now doctors use it for anxiety disorders.

But your husband's dose needs looking at - and soon. He's clearly on too much!

How old is he? (I'm a psychitric nurse by the way)

Older people need much lower doses than younger people.

It increases the appetite in most people, too, and cheers them up generally - but not with all these side-effects, of coursE.

He could be tried on another, similar drug, which has just been licensed for GAD. It's called gabapentin, but you absolutely need your doctor's advice asap about this.

It doesn't sound as though it's helped him much.........

Sleepy all day and can't sleep at night but how much sleep is he getting

What is GAD?

Pregabelin can cause a movement disorder called cortical myoclonus. Personally I would not be surprised if the neurologist discontinued them and reported these serious side effects to the MHRA.

pregabelin is known to cause side effects even at much lower doses.

It caused a movement disorder in me called cortical myoclonus. My neurologist discontinued it and reported this occurrence to the MHRA.
