Pregabalin for anxiety and ocd

[junior19]

Has anyone been given pregabalin for anxiety and ocd? If you have what have been the side effects if any?

[junior19]

I'm asking this question because I have been taken off pregabalin. Although it was helping my anxiety slightly it was making my ocd worse.

I would appreciate others experiences of this.

Hi junior19, I don't have ocd but was given Pregabalin (Lyrica) for my fibromyalgia and anxiety. I was also taken off it because it made me so loopy as well as forgetful. It may be a good drug for some.

Any one else had problems with pregabalin?

I still take pregabalin, even though it makes me loopy and forgetful - haha Agora1

The reason I am willing to put up with this, along with swollen legs and a definite dumbing down of what used to be a sharp intellect - pregabalin took me out of HELL, which was my experience of the pain of inadequately medicated CRPS.
