It is a very low dose and wouldn't usually affect you that much. My David has 150 at night to help him relax and sleep..

My advice would be to speak with your GP asap.

I felt drunk and dizzy for the first three weeks and it took ages before I felt some benefit. Everyone is different, but it depends on how you feel about the initial side effects. x

I can’t really advised you Corrie14, but if you find the side effects disturbing, you need to speak to your doctor or pharmacist tomorrow, or ring the NHS Direct tonight on 111. Lyrica, aka Pregabalin is well known for side effects.

You should go to citizen advice they will help you fill it in and you need letters from Docters Iv got Fibromygia Tinatass Athsma RLS And I only just got through Need any advice PM me I will help you

I would speak with you GP. It is a low dose but if you are having side effects then you must come off.

This must do it slowly and he will advise.
