Pregabalin- any experiences?

Hi all,

I have been prescribed Pregabalin for my Panic Disorder and, as usual, I feel terribly scared of even try it. I have to start on a really low dose of 75mg per day.

Has anybody tried this medicine before to treat anxiety? I would appreciate any opinions/ experiences.

Thank you

Thank you Pat9. I really want to have the courage to start taking them but the fact that they are capsules also terrifies me. It would be reassuring to know that there's no harm in taking them dissolved with water. xx

I don't think that is how they work they are a slow release so need to be absorbed into the body slowly and then they give out relief over time to dissolve it all at once would be going against this try taking one then building up them xx
