Pregabalin and other substances interactions

[Figar]

Hello, me again! As some of you might have read (thank you to those who did and replied) I have now started taking 75mg pregabalin to try and control my RLS.

This is the first time I try medication. My therapist a while ago mentioned that some of her clients who suffer from the same conditioned and who struggle with sleep, managed to get some prescribed cannabis to help with sleep AND rls, and I'd be curious to hear other people's experiences on this (she did say she was just sharing what she was told and she's not a neurologist nor a GP).

When smoked in the past, I must admit it helped me go to sleep but then didn't completely solve RLS. Does anyone know about the interactions between cannabis and pregabalin? I tried to run a little research on google but very little came up.

Also, what about betablockers such as propanolol and pregabalin? I very occasionally use propanolol to keep my anxiety under control (probably not even twice a month) and would love to hear about experiences on this too.

I have an appointment with my GP to discuss and review how things are going on pregabalin, but that's in January, and until then I'm keen to hear what others think and have experienced re the above!

Thank you all

Dr. Buchfuhrer has stated that propranolol doesn't affect RLS. However, as it's a beta blocker it may worsen RLS for some.Cannabis is safe with Pregabalin.

I was prescribed medical cannabis in.thr UK & the specialist was aware of my other medications.

Cannabis definitely helped with sleep. I would monitor any side effects like excessive daytime sleepiness because both Pregabalin and cannabis are sedating meds.
