Pregablin and lorazapan

[Spacecat1]

Have asked before but lost replies.

Gp put me on pregablin 2 a day and orimorph if needed which we go out take tiny dose but been told to take half a lorazepam tablet and pregablin and just before going out dose of orimorph. Will this be ok. Just find my anxiety and panic attacks do get worse when about to go out. I do need to go out.

I think you need to try it and see, what works for you may not work for others just make sure you are using the right dose as prescribed. Have you tried a mindfulness course the blf helpline may be able to advise you it certainly helped with my anxiety along with the pills.

I take half a tablet 0.5mg Lorazapam before I go out. It does help with my Anxiety attacks. Must admit I was apprehensive as such a tiny tablet. It definitely works for me and such a tiny dosage it wont cause problems. x Sheila.

I only take half a tablet 0.5mg. O f

Didn't think such a small tablet would work but it does. I took a whole tablet once 1mg not good much better on 0.5mg. No problems and definitely helps control my anxiety and panic attacks. It takes about 30 mins to work so I take it before I leave the house. Works for me. No side effects whatsoever. Cramp can be caused if you are dehydrated, drink plenty of water also helps with oxygen levels

Good luck

Do you take pregablin as well. Or just lorazepam.

[garshe in reply to Spacecat1]

No only Lorazapam. I don't take this daily only when needed . A pack of 14 tablets lasts me almost 3months

As I cut them in half. x Sheila

[Spacecat1 in reply to garshe]

Yes I only take half and only if I need to. My gp put me on pregablin for my anxiety and pharmacist said if needed I could take a half lorazepam if needed bit confused might to see if I can book in with my gp and have a chat. Have a lovely day xx
