I was put on this in the hospital for nerve pain from a bulging disc two weeks ago. Im in water therapy now and forgot to take it one night. Felt better and decided no more. Im glad u did. No side effects yet. Glad I'm not a person who likes any drugs.
I will summarise; Helps people with epilepsy Helps some people with neuropathic pain, but only used if other drugs causing problems or don't work for some reason (other drugs have more evidence for effectiveness). Definitely helps people with GAD (generalised anxiety disorder). Some people have problems using this medication, ongoingly. Some people develop tolerance and some people have issues with feeling like they can't live without it (or stop taking it). Works just fine for me, and I don't have any problems going up or down on this medication.
Thank you for sharing this video , i have been on Pregabaline about 15 years , for neuropathic pain from an amputation . I'm finding it harder and harder to take this medication due to side effects , and it is no longer effective in easing my pain , i take 100mg AM and PM and my consultant has repeatedly wanted me to up my dose , i am unwilling due to side effects . Once again thank you for sharing .
Try homeopathic medicine for nerve pain.. i have been taking lyrica (250mg) for almost a year .. initially it was helping me but after few months it was not as effective as it was in the starting. I recently started homeopathic medicine and that has been helping me a lot, it’s been only a month. I have been able to decrease the lyrica dose to 175mg. You can also consider laser therapy or gamma knife radiation therapy which can provide you relief without the need of any medicines. Things that cause side effects make life very difficult
I cannot take SSRI/SNRI or Tricyclic antidepressants as I used to abuse MDMA & Hallucinogens (as self-medication for my GAD). My brain and body does not tolerate increased serotonin well. Pregabalin has been a so helpful for me as an option in that regard and is way more effective than anything else I've tried. Funny how he quickly skips through the GAD section though...😅
A drug can't be classified as basically "good" or "bad". Methamphetamine, for example, is an FDA approved prescription drug (Desoxyn) in the USA, as second line treatment in ADHD, if methylphenidate and dextroamphetamine have failed. Dosage can be titrated up to 20mg per day in children 6 years and over. The first thing we need to ensure, to have a chance at dealing with this health issue, is by excluding many involved in the conversation. Without an adequate knowledge of drugs and medicine, it's not possible to understand the issue.
I'm on 150mg per day for anxiety. Gonna start my quitting journey very soon.. I'm prepared for hell because it's a highly addictive substance. I have gained a lot of weight during the 10-ish years I've been on Lyrica, and I really struggle lose it. I also experience brain fog.. it used to be moderate but lately it has increased. I can't think clearly. The only pro I can think about is that it made my panic attacks fewer and milder. I hope I will be fine without, once it's out of my system.
Pregabalin has helped me quit cannabis, but dependence slowly started creeping in. Use carefully, no more than twice a week and days in between both days (if using for substance abuse)
I think this drug is killing me if i say out to gp go to a and e what will thay do im deleris id never bin this bad till gave this and i told them no so thay up dose fast and my head is bracking its nasty dubell vison sick anger upset and keeps up like this every day im off on street stuf be safer im suffering starting this meds so nasty
@@tomybalony1737 My doctor says : very slowly, spread over several months if you take high dosis. Slowly built down, each time every week, but I mean tiny steps down.

I've tried mirtazapine and pregablin hands down pregablin kicks arse on mirtazapine. And probably every other anti depressants
Pregalin is a good drug, when used in correct dose and duration
True. It Helps me !
@@me-thebusta610 It is a great medication for nerve pain and helped me sleep, The problem is the depression and brain damage.

I wonder how you did, noting this is 2 yrs ago. I'm trying to get off this ghastly meds
@@NellaBencini I'm completely off it now
Thank you, Sir! Very clear message of this medicine.
I take 150 mg 3 x a day. Was on gabapentin for years now Lyrica.
Why did you switch to Pregabalin?
Pregabalin has helped me quit cannabis, but dependence slowly started creeping in. Use carefully, no more than twice a week and days in between both days (if using for substance abuse)
I been breaking out in hives
It is great for GAD
"Pregabalin helps against everything, but nothing helps against pregabalin."
Gabapentin is???
Why are we giny pigs to you
