Falling asleep

Good afternoon, everyone. Who is saved from flinching when falling asleep? I can't sleep, I shudder all the time. I take 150 mg of pregabalin at night, for five days, but it does not save me from flinching

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

If after about 3 weeks it's still not working then the dose can be increased.

The maximum is 300mg.

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