Struggling with medication update (pregabalin)`

[missrat]

I've been on pregabalin for both anxiety and pain, and have been told to double the dose every two weeks. At first it was fine. When I went to 100mg twice daily I had a few days of feeling dizzy. On Wednesday I doubled to 200mg twice daily and am feeling very dizzy.

I'm tempted to have a few days on 125 mg three times a day, then ad in the extra pills after the weekend. It's not touching the pain.

I saw a psychologist yesterday and am booked for a Mindfulness/CBT course in October to December. Just what I hoped for.

After being pretty rough, I woke feeling a lot better on Saturday. Last night I had a dream about finances and have done a check this morning which shows I have to really watch things and reduce some standing orders. The pain is a nuisance and I'm having some pet problems. About to play with my rescue girl, then go over to Tonbridge to have a very small shop.

Hi missrat

Sounds like the meds could be causing you a problem , maybe the higher dose might be to much , I would see how it goes & have a word with my GP if I kept feeling that way , there maybe another way round it & they are always best to advise

I am pleased you have got the CBT that you were hoping for , wont be long till October , you will have to let is no how it goes

Think most of us are needing to make cut backs when it comes to money so you are not on your own with that one , I to need to look at what I am doing , that was a good reminder for me

Not sure what your rescue girl might me , but thinking maybe one of your rats

Hope you have a good day , sounds like you have got it planned & enjoy your little shop

love
