Lyrica made me eat junk in crazy amounts. The wait gaine was destroying my health.

My stepfather was fighting cancer, and gabapentin was prescribed for pain mitigation. I illicitly used it off label to address my anxiety and wow, I now believe anxiety can be helped. Until Id used it Ive never felt the comfort in public as I did then. Im in therapy now, and plan to ask about Lyrica if I cant arrive at a non chemical solution. Thank you for sharing your story.

My friend has been advised to reduce then stop taking this as it’s affecting her kidney function, worrying

It maybe helps my nerve pain marginally but the withdrawals are on par with my opiate medication (I'm dependent on strong pain relief until my back surgery)

Im on 45mg mitazapine and ive just been prescribed promethazine aswel. Can i take both at the same time. ?

i wanted to see others experiences as i’m going to take this for anxiety. not looking forward to it now as i’m already on citalopram and taking opioids. i’m probably gonna be sleeping the entire day now & it’s got me thinking is it even worth it

Benzos are not a sleeping tablet no benzo will get you to sleep or feel drowsy their used for anxiety to be taken throughout the day then you take a sleeping tablet on a night

Would it help pre dental visit for anxiety?

I said enough after being on it nearly 3 years. First it felt amazingly good. Didn't make me manic like ssri's, kept the depression away, stabilized my mood and helped with anxiety. Then the memory loss. I couldn't remember anything without writing it down. I felt so dizzy that walking straight was impossible,now imagine this at work. I also started to have all kinds of infections, later found out that the drug can affect your immune system . digestion issues, I mean bad ones. Basically I felt too sick to work. Gladly since I started tapering down, things have improved.

Hello. Is it really possible to have a job where you need to be concentrated while being on zine? Or you really like zombo.

Yeah they work 100% but many people will be on these for life because the withdrawals are horrific. If you ever want to come off them i recommend to always taper down. It took me around 9 months to taper from 300mg and that aint a massive amount. I was on these for 4 years and i aint taken them since January 2024. Ill never take these pills again.

I am in tears watching this because no one understands how i feel! Thank you for sharing 💜 I have been on it for 4weeks now and have started to itch so much which is worrying me!

Have you ever tried CBD oil? If so, what kind of experience have you had with this?

I am going to be a transgender woman because I need to be a good girl people can call me a ma'am and barbie sexy Doll and get my body change into the FEMALE

You’re hot. Post more

Thank you for making this video - I’m going to talk to my doctor about this medication tomorrow

I've had the issues with the grogginess too, but 've needed it the last while to fall asleep. Unfortunately last night I got caught in the worst nightmare loop, constantly trying to wake up aware I'm in a nightmare, having false wakes, actually waking up but falling asleep again minutes or even seconds later, etc., it was kind of terrifying, and when I did finally managed to stay awake for more than 3 minutes I had to *force* myself to stay awake. Eventually I let myself go back to sleep and I had a much more pleasant dream, but I had really intense grogginess and couldn't move most of my body - not full on sleep paralysis but still sucked. Wonder if I took 2 by accident.

Thankyou so much. I have been looking for reviews on this as my anxiety has gotten so bad i nearly went to hospital, all day everyday i suffer. I dont sleep. I have just been given this today and you made me feel kore comfortable about it so thankyou for telling your experience. X

Thanks for such a useful video. Did this med impact your menstruation cycle somehow?

The worst medicine

Its very bad medicine

Can you take Pregabalin toogether with Trazodone?

Any diffrence between Pregabalin and Gabapentin??

Lyrica was first prescribed for seizures it was rebranded.It’s not good, long term use can cause dementia.Don’t take it, read the small imprint. Magnesium , vitamin D in women deficient cause depression, anxiety. Too many carbs an sugars as well clean eating, exercise,sunlight, supplements can do it.

I have anxiety disorder since I was a kid. Been on ssri for a few years but still have attacks. My doctor gave me pregabalin super low dose 50 mg a day. At first I thought it was great, no anxiety! But DO NOT DRINK alcohol whilst on this medication. I became hostile, slurring, uncoordinated just after 2 glasses of wine. Embarrassed myself at xmas in front of my family, stopped taking it soon after. The withdrawals were hell, rebound anxiety, insomnia, GI issues, headaches, dysphoria, lasted 2 weeks. I was on it for 2.5 months. Glad I quit when I did. Best wishes.

Hi thanks for the info, how’s it going with the Pregabalin are you still using it?

I got these prescribed for my sleep issues. I can't be the only one who gets really insane nightmares on this stuff.

How long until it kicked in for you? I've been on it two weeks now and I feel nothing. Is that normal?

I’ve got them too, took 25 mg last night, went to bed about 1 am and still woke up at 6

Give us a update in 5 years time when your fucked 👍. Pregablin stops brain cells growing its just been banned in a few more countries and 1in10 suicides for mental health are now linked to this drug. Sadly the things that work best In life usually kill us and you are still young so I am not sure how you will cope in the future. No mention of you even having a diagnosis for anxiety. Good luck you will need it.

If you delete my comment, you should at least correct yours. That’s not the correct dosage for anxiety.

Great video. Thanks for all the info. How long have you been on it? And how long are you allowed to take them? Thank youu x

Have you had weight gain?

I’ve been on it 2 weeks and feel wonderful. I am on Temazepam, Prozac and Lamotrigine. I’m wondering if I can get off the Lamotrigine since it is an anti seizure med.

i can relate to this video alot. thank you for opening up. keep your head up beautiful x

I had a similar experience with lamictal. I rapid cycle as well. Anti-depressants were making me worse. I'd love to have more hypomania but lamictal keeps me more even. The lows are nowhere near as dark as they used to be. I've been on it 6 years. My main side effects were I just didn't give a damn about anything at first. My word recall was awful. And each time they upped the dose I would get very depressed for two days. It does feel weird that I am more even and not as moody. Nowhere near as quick witted and that bothers me.

Hi, i know its been a while but ive just been given pregab to take for my anxiety.. im also on sertraline but find its not helping.. i really want to try the pregabs, im just scared of new meds.

This medication destroys brain cells ,and it's difficult to come off.

If I can give you advice “from future” , make it a priority to sort out the sleep. I have developed epilepsy because my sleep too was terrible. If I could, I would make my younger self care about myself more when I was younger. Wishing you all the best, thanks for the video.

I love this drug . No more anxiety, energy etc

Ty for sharing! I am glad for you that you found something that gives you peace :).

Thank for this information

I was going to take it it’s been prescribed by my doctor until you said nightmares

Great video. It sure also work to calm you down if you suffer from anxiety. Först days I felt draws y but after some days it was no worse than diazepam/Valium. Remember all that Promethazine was the first drug used to calm people down since 1951, and it's still in use, that tell me that newer drugs doesn't at all have to work better

Hi, how is your sleep on effexor?

Hi many thanks for the video. I just started this medication for sleep, anxiety and panic attacks. It's 25mg, how long should I give it a try at 25mg before upping it to 50mg?

How long did it take to kick in ? I've just started xxx

Great stuff, got 75mg from a friend and POOF the anxiety went away. Currently taking 150mg. In many ways it works much better than benzo.

Are you still on it? How's it going? SNRI not helping my anxiety.
