1039200 tn?1314912008 Has anyone heard of Pregabalin (lyrica) for bipolar or anxiety? - my doctor wants me to try, but I have not heard about it before and would like to know if anyone here has tried it or knows anyone who has. Is it used as a mood stabiliser? - I can't find it on the web site ILADVOCATE recomended me a long time ago, does this mean it's not a mood stabiliser or just a new brand?
Avatar f tn Because many drugs are excreted in human milk, and because of the potential for tumorigenicity shown for pregabalin in animal studies, decide whether to discontinue nursing or to discontinue the drug, taking into account the importance of the drug to the mother. Pediatric Use The safety and efficacy of pregabalin in pediatric patients have not been established.
Avatar n tn s analgetic properties(against peripheral and central neuropathic pain) but also it is indicated for GAD (not panic attacks) .
Avatar f tn in the States, has unlabeled uses for GAD and SAD, (Generalized Anxiety Disorder and Social Anxiety Disorder) it is primarily prescribed here for fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain associated with peripheral neuropathy. Nowhere can I find that it is beneficial for sleep problems, although one of it's side effects IS "fatigue," I don't think that is the desired effect for a sleep aid.
Avatar f tn Unfortunately, what I cant control is the anxiety. I cant work. The PA Ive been seeing for the last 18 years wont even give me ten xanax a month, so I can rarely go out. I dont know if increasing the Savella will help calm the anxiety or not? I have to be able to find employment to care for my son, I dont think I can just get disability or Social Security for being a nut lol Any ideas??
Avatar m tn are there any new developing medication for anxiety? im taking pregabalin amongst others but cant recommend it enough!
Avatar n tn Amitriptyline/nortriptyline,gabapentin/pregabalin,minocycline, and dexamethathone. Seeing a neurologist or Orofacial pain specialist who is familiar with management of nerve injury is advised.
Avatar m tn The only anti anxiety medication iv been on is pregabalin,was on it for over a year but it didnt really agree with me.im currently taking fluxoteine 20mg x 2 a day and cinerazine.Im looking for a anti anxiety drug to help stop this dizziness that iv had for over 2 years,im not looking for a "fix" but something to help me while i battle this anxiety and agoraphobia.Have you ever been on buspar?
Avatar f tn I have been taking Lyrica for over 15 years. It helped with chronic and diabetic nerve pain. I have gone from 500 a day down to 200 a day. I cannot sleep at night, gained weight and have severe itching and may have suicide ideology. If there is another drug you can take, take it.
Avatar m tn I'm 21 and male. I was having arm pains which was caused by neck pain for bad posture on computer desk. So I went to the GP (general medicine) and he said the pain is for the neck, and it will go away and asked me to do some static neck exercise and swimming and prescribed 'Pregabalin m-75' to take for 1 month and stop.
634733 tn?1316625992 I have heard that Lyrica actually worse that Gabapentin for the weight gain. I have gained a bit on the gabapentin too, but my mother was on Lyric and gained 30 lbs. in a VERY short time. you might want to reconsider it. I donèt know if it is a body type and condition that causes the weight gain, but I have heard it alot from people on Lyrica. Just check it out Pat, and see what your Dr.
Avatar m tn The problem is, I have been on it for a few years now and am wondering is it the pregabalin, or is it a result of actually having an underlying anxiety condition? Anyone out there had any similar experiences?
Avatar f tn When I reinstated it at a very low dose I got a bad reaction, I felt horrible increased anxiety, depression and suicidal ideation(for the first time in my life) and burning sensations on my scalp and hands. Went to a psychaitrist after a week because it was unbearable and I wasn't stabilizing he told me to immediately switch to Lexapro 20mg, took it after about an hour I felt severe jitters and nausea, I felt like I'd had 10 cups of coffee and vomited..and had stomach and liver pain..
1218873 tn?1300091216 Well as many of you will know I had an appointment to see Neurological physio, which i went to last Wednesday. She ask many questions about how I ended up in this situation. She then asked what I thought she may be able to help with. I started with the cramp like pain I get across the top of my right foot,and the fact I thought it was possibly due to my toe curling under when I walk, to try and resolve the pain I walk with my foot turned out.
Avatar f tn Several years ago I developed severe itching, which over a few months spread. It started on the left side below my shoulder blade (notalgia paresthetica), then my scalp, then on the edges of my face, then on my left lower back. Scratching felt good but didn't relieve the itch and irritated my skin. Topical creams didn't help. My dermatologist said my (otherwise sensitive) skin looked healthy. He prescribed gabapentin, which I had to ease into to avoid side effects.
Avatar m tn Hi there- I'll try to answer your questions but your situation is complicated by the amount of meds she currently takes. First, you're correct in dropping by small amounts BUT some of those patches should NEVER be cut...Be sure to read the caution on the outside of the package the patch comes in. I don't know the type of patch she uses so just be careful. Cutting some of those patches can cause the med to dump all at once or not provide any at all.
Avatar n tn Feelings of dread and excessive worrying are classic symptoms of anxiety disorders. The burning feelings you are experiencing can also be associated with anxiety. You are doing the right thing by getting everything checked to rule out other causes... however, in my experience, if someone thinks they have an anxiety disorder.. they probably do. Try not to worry about the test results too much. If it is something else than anxiety, you will be properly treated.
Avatar f tn Is Gaba' so very different than Pregabalin? I have tried both but ended up on Pre'. Low dose 50mg x 2. Side effects prevent higher dosage, extreme dizziness & affects my moods as well. Help my pain too.
Avatar m tn Anyway I had already taperd of the night dose by cutting it and was on the half for the last 3 weeks (only for night dose) And before two days I have stopped the night dose fully. Having only morning dose .I Also having Tianeptine for depression and Pregabalin for pain (but not helping with pain.I think it will help for my Alpra withdrawal on 7mg-0-75mg).After skipping the night dose ai am having depression and pain .Is this normal?
Avatar f tn I was prescribed Pregabalin (as lyrica is called in the UK) nearly two months ago for anxiety, but because I have hypermobility syndrome and autonomic nervous system problems the possibility of pain reduction made it sound very appealing.
Avatar f tn What do mood stablizers do for people who arent bipolar...my dr is using it to get me off benzos and to help my anxiety,but just how do they help...
Avatar m tn whats the best medication out there that can help treat anxiety dizziness,fainting and light headed'ness? the only anti anxiety medication iv tryed is pregabalin,which that didnt help the dizziness.im allso on fluxoteine and sturgeon,any help is great!
Avatar m tn So my GP prescribed me static neck exercise, swimming and prescribed to take Pregabalin-M 75 (Pregabalin-Methylcobalamine tablets 75mg) For 1 month and then stop. I took 5 doses yet. But I'm having this following side-effects - dizziness, sleepiness whole day, lack of interest and and concentration, bad mood, sexually charged dreams, erection problem and lack of libido or interest in sexual desire. I have a high libido by default. But I'm not feeling it since I took the medicines.
