Pregabalin

[Zebrawhite]

Hi everyone

I have been prescribed Pregabalin for anxiety. Online it says it affects the brain in a similar way to benzos, which always really helped me before. I was just wondering if anyone else had experience of taking Pregabalin and how it worked for you?

Hi Zebrawhite,

I hope you'll get some replies from people who have taken this medication, I haven't taken it myself. But I'm so glad you've been prescribed something that I hope will help.

Take care

Hi Zebrawhite,

Its good to hear back from you. I personally have no experience of using this medication, but I am very glad that you had a review and they were able to offer you help, and I hope this helps with your anxiety.

Thinking of you,

Hi Zebrawhite,

I'm glad you've had your medication looked at and hope the Pregabalin is helpful for the symptoms you've been experiencing.

My husband took this for nerve pain rather than anxiety, which is my only (indirect) experience of it I'm afraid, but I really hope you find it effective.

Take good care,

Thank you for the messages everyone. I have only just taken one Pregablin so don't know how it will be longterm, but I'm feeling a bit better right now.
