am I over medicated?

Hi!

I am being medicated with pregabalin (lyrica) 150mg morning and night for social anxiety. I also have a background of Asperger's syndrome, bulimia, BPD.

I feel since I have upped my meds from 100mg BD to 150mg BD (about two weeks ago) that I struggle to get my words out sometimes (I am bilingual, mother tongue Spanish, living in the UK). Sometimes i feel like I can't say something either in Spanish or in English. It's like I get exhausted just by THINKING! I also feel like my hands got pins and needles and I feel like my joints get very tired very easily doing things like typing and using my smartphone. Short of like having carpal tunnel syndrome without actually having it?! It's really weird

I wonder if I am being overmedicated and if this is something I should brought up to my ANP?? My anxiety is mostly under control and I don't want to go down and feel anxious again...

I am also taking levothyroxine 75mcg OD for hashimoto's (just in case is of any importance)

I’m not sure if you’re being over medicated, but you might just be getting some side effects from bumping the dose up. I know that it takes my body around three weeks to get used to new pills and even dosage increases
