Anyone on pregabalin (Lyrica)?

[muddlemummy]

My first post here so hope it is in the right place! I have just been prescribed this for my anxiety and can't find much info for it on the net. Has anyone any experience of it?

I also take each day:
Citalopram 40mg
Mirtazapine 45mg
Risperidone 4mg
Diazepam 8mg

I have to admit I feel pretty over medicated and out of it. Does anyone know if this side effect will pass?

Thanks for your help.

You sure are on a lot of stuff! No wonder u feel out of it. What's your overall diagnosis? I'm just on the citalopram and diazepam

Anyway try this for Pregbalin

Thanks for the link Trombone babe. My diagnosis is recurrent major depressive episodes. Just recently my anxiety has spiralled out of control and my psychiatrist mentioned GAD to me at my last appointment. Not sure what that stands for though? Anyone know?

I think GAD stands for generalised anxiety disorder. I'm suffering from a bit of that myself at the moment, as well as recurrent depression.
