    I was put on this in the hospital for nerve pain from a bulging disc two weeks ago. Im in water therapy now and forgot to take it one night. Felt better and decided no more. Im glad u did. No side effects yet. Glad I'm not a person who likes any drugs.

    Thank you for sharing this video , i have been on Pregabaline about 15 years , for neuropathic pain from an amputation . I'm finding it harder and harder to take this medication due to side effects , and it is no longer effective in easing my pain , i take 100mg AM and PM and my consultant has repeatedly wanted me to up my dose , i am unwilling due to side effects . Once again thank you for sharing .

      Try homeopathic medicine for nerve pain.. i have been taking lyrica (250mg) for almost a year .. initially it was helping me but after few months it was not as effective as it was in the starting. I recently started homeopathic medicine and that has been helping me a lot, it’s been only a month. I have been able to decrease the lyrica dose to 175mg. You can also consider laser therapy or gamma knife radiation therapy which can provide you relief without the need of any medicines. Things that cause side effects make life very difficult

    I will summarise;
    Helps people with epilepsy
    Helps some people with neuropathic pain, but only used if other drugs causing problems or don't work for some reason (other drugs have more evidence for effectiveness).
    Definitely helps people with GAD (generalised anxiety disorder).
    Some people have problems using this medication, ongoingly. Some people develop tolerance and some people have issues with feeling like they can't live without it (or stop taking it).
    Works just fine for me, and I don't have any problems going up or down on this medication.

    I cannot take SSRI/SNRI or Tricyclic antidepressants as I used to abuse MDMA & Hallucinogens (as self-medication for my GAD). My brain and body does not tolerate increased serotonin well.
    Pregabalin has been a so helpful for me as an option in that regard and is way more effective than anything else I've tried. Funny how he quickly skips through the GAD section though...😅

    Pregabalin has helped me quit cannabis, but dependence slowly started creeping in. Use carefully, no more than twice a week and days in between both days (if using for substance abuse)

    I'm on 150mg per day for anxiety. Gonna start my quitting journey very soon.. I'm prepared for hell because it's a highly addictive substance. I have gained a lot of weight during the 10-ish years I've been on Lyrica, and I really struggle lose it. I also experience brain fog.. it used to be moderate but lately it has increased. I can't think clearly. The only pro I can think about is that it made my panic attacks fewer and milder. I hope I will be fine without, once it's out of my system.

    A drug can't be classified as basically "good" or "bad".
    Methamphetamine, for example, is an FDA approved prescription drug (Desoxyn) in the USA, as second line treatment in ADHD, if methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine have failed. Dosage can be titrated up to 20mg per day in children 6 years and over.
    The first thing we need to ensure, to have a chance at dealing with this health issue, is by excluding many involved in the conversation. Without an adequate knowledge of drugs and medicine, it's not possible to understand the issue.
