Good afternoon, everyone. Who has the same problems. When falling asleep or a sharp start of the leg or the whole body. I can't sleep properly. Immediately flinching. And how to take pregabalin correctly? Took two pills at night and insomnia.

Your symptoms sound typical of RLS, not unusual.

Pregabalin tablets come in different doses.

You have to take pregabalin 3 to 4 weeks before it will start fully working.

You also have to be taking a sufficient dose. If after about 3 weeks it's still not working then the dose can be increased.

The minimum effective dose is 150mg.

It's best to take it 2 - 3 hours before bedtime.

Thanks admin for the heads up about this post. Sahhara, I don't have much I can help you with and Manerva is onto it much more than I because I was only on it for a short time.

My doc and I trialed 4 different drugs and have settled on Circadin which is Melatonin and works really well for me although apparently I was talking in my sleep a lot last night which is not usual for me.
