Hi all

I dont know weather to up my dose to 300mg of pregabalin!  Am taking 150mg at the moment and it is helping my anxiety to a point but feel I could get more from the drug.  The only problem am having is the side effects got bad head with dizziness, tiredness and my legs are so heavy feel like ive walked miles. Am worrying that if I double the dose the worse these side effects will get! Am hoping I'll get used to the drug and these side effects will go as ive only been on it for 3 weeks

      For me they have! My anxiety is more controlled but the down side is the headaches tiredness and the worst is jelly legs am just hoping that it will wear off as ive only been on pregabalin 3 weeks! Are you on them susan?

      A lot of people say they are addictive but I dont feel addictive and my boss takes them for life due to a nerve condition. But everybody is different

      my advice is to give it a go if ur not taking them
