Just started a new prescription of the above two days ago. I noticed I struggled to get up yesterday and felt a little “drugged” and today the feeling is even worse, with brain fog as well, and I just want to sleep. I remembered feeling like this for a while when I went back on Pregabalin, before it wore off. So, thought I’d take a look at at this new box of Pregabalin to see what was different about it.
Found the difference! The capsules are each 150mg and I’m supposed to be taking 50mg capsules, so instead of taking 100mg of Pregabalin a day I’ve been taking three times that dose for the last two days. No wonder I’ve been feeling like this! And no wonder I’ve not been bothered by RLS at all and have slept well.
I’ve got a new prescription at the pharmacy to pick up (I’m a prescription ahead as I already had some and reorder just as I’m about to start the last box) and I’m sure the pharmacy won’t have made the same mistake.
It’s confirmed for me that I definitely needed a higher dose of Pregabalin, though think 300mg a day might be too high?
Is anyone else on a high dose of Pregabalin? I know the sleepiness and brain fog would wear off, but do the RLS symptoms stay under control or creep back?
