Pragabalin

[Hublot]

Morning all, I have now been in Pragabalin 300mg for a month, it seems to be working well, when first prescribed the 300mg dose I had 150mg tablets which after advice from you I took 150 2hours before bed then 150 just before I went to sleep worked well, it’s remembering to take the separate doses.

My doctor has now given me a 300ml tablet, which I take 2 hours before bed, this doesn’t quite have the same effect, why is this.

I wouldn’t want to take any higher dose of f this medication , although I’ve had no problems, it just seems you have to increase it quite quickly, from when it was first prescribed.

Tell your doctor this and ask to go back on the two 150 mg dose which worked well.

Go back to 2 x 150mg. If you forget to take it, set up a pill box each week and keep by your bed.

If you use your computer in the evening you can set an alarm on it . I take my gabapentin in 3 doses and that is what I do for 2 of them. For the third I bought an inexpensive timer with an alarm and use that. Of course then you have to remember to set the alarm unless it is one that repeats every day.

I had similar. Initial dose was 150mg Pregabalin then incremental doses of 25mg every 3 days until I achieved what seemed best for me. I am now taking 275mg. I think I am just about there, but I like the sound of splitting the dose at night time so I will try that tonight.
