Hello I was prescribed Pregabalin for nerve pain following an operation it worked but then I noticed that I started to feel different much calmer and I looked forward to and enjoyed things It was like a light had come on in my head

I've suffered for anxiety for so long and tried just about every alternative therapy going I didn't want to take medication but I feel so well at last

Are you taking them ?

I hope you have a good experience like I have

Take care x

I'm a bit late in replying to your post, I take pregabalin ,I'm on 300mg twice a day, and I think they can make you feel 'woozy ' especially if taken on a empty stomach, my dosage had increased over the years due to my nerve damage, so the effects will disappear eventually once you have taken the tablets for a few days, but maybe avoid driving if you feel like they affect your capability or your road awareness, good luck 👍
