Hi Community
Reaching out to your knowledge and lived experience once again.
My RLS has been banished since taking Pregabalin- I take 150mg at night and usually get 5-6 hours of uninterrupted sleep.
My referral to Leicester Sleep Clinic resulted in being told to take a multivitamin with iron for the rest of my life and have regular blood tests. No infusion offered despite bringing Ayo Algorithm with me as evidence.
I have noticed rapid weight gain even on this low dosage. Checked in with GP who said “yes, that’s to be expected just do your best to eat well”.
So, community, what next? Lower the dose,? Come off it altogether? I cannot cope with weight gain as I’m already heavy and confidence is rock bottom but neither do I want to go back to pain, sleepless nights and exhaustion. Has someone been where I am?
