Hi everyone! I am glad I found this video! I had a bad fall in 2008 on ice with both hands full and couldn't catch myself and suffered a concussion and major back, neck and knee pain to my right side. After years of chiropractic treatment, nothing has improved but has gotten worse. Not so much my knee, but I feel like if I'm laying down and someone is laying down above me with their feet on my shoulders trying to pull my head off of my body! That is the only way I can explain the back moves to upper right back and shoulder, neck, jaw, ear plugging, pressure in my head and then it moves to the front and top of my head. The neck pain feels like I am being choked on the right side of my throat. Neck and head pressure feels like someone has a thumb at the base of my skull right in the middle and is pushing or is palming my head like a basketball and squeezing. My ears plug out of nowhere! I feel a small lump or nodule in my throat on the right side sometimes, but no-one else seems to feel it. The only time I get relief is when I go to bed. It doesn't really bother me when I am laying down and it doesn't disturb my sleep. Within the last 6 months, I've seen an ENT who did an Endoscopy and didn't see anything on my throat, I've had x-rays and ct scans of back and neck and am told that all is it's not! Finally, after almost 2 years of waiting, got in to see a neurologist and showed her my cds of the xrays and ct scans and the MRI from when I first fell and she said that everything looked beautiful and squeaky clean! She did the normal strength tests with my fingers, hands, feet, etc and all was well. Her diagnosis...you can guess...."You have Fibromyalgia" and prescribed me Lyrica and told me to go talk to a counselor about my pain. I've had this pain for 2 years non-stop and waited almost 2 years to see any neurologist and paid $200 to be told I need counseling and I have Fibromyalgia and take Lyrica! Needless to say....I know that this pain is not in my head like she thinks it after paying $78 for a bottle of Lyrica, 50mg/3 times a day I decided to read the papers that come with the prescription. When I read of the side effects and possible side is no way on God's green earth that I would ever take this pill!!! I have a high tolerance for pain and will only take something when I can't take the pain anymore, but I will never take this pill, even though it is a low dosage. So that is why I am so thankful that I found this video and all of your comments!!! If anyone can tell me anything to help me, I am open to listening to it! Sorry, my comment is so long, but I am really at the end of my rope and desperate for some relief but not desperate enough to take Lyrica! Thank you all!

The BLOOD PRESSURE CHANGES means high BP upon standing, walking, lifting heavy objects, housework, or anything besides sitting or lying down, etc.

Gabapentin saved my life after years of panic attacks and then after almost breaking my leg and needing 3 surgeries and 1 month in a hospital and 2 months re learning to walk. I switched to Pregabalin for the pain and it acts similar enough to gabapentin for me so it really is the best option for me personally. This is in addition to physical therapy, supplements, and changing my diet to lessen inflammation

I can't stress enough how dangerous Pregabalin withdrawal was for me.
I tapered down, and one night i could not move for over an hour. My entire left side jerked involuntarily.
My heart was in extreme pain, and racing. Total confusion and disorientation.
Finally i was able to call an ambulance.
My wonderful doctor is helping me through this with low dose valium.
I am taking Pregabalin for neck osteoarthritis.
Since tapering, i have agitation also.
Has anyone had similar experiences?
For some people, it's a miracle drug.
But others are not so lucky.

Honestly this drug is different for different people. I've been on and off it for anxiety and it gives me a mild calming effect. I've found every ssri horrible and this is tolerable. I'm on 500mg daily and my life is going much better than before I took this med. I've detoxed from alcohol and nothing will be worse than that so I don't worry about a detox from this if it's ever needed. Don't let eveeyone scare you. Benzos are a LOT worse so just put it in comparison. Don't let people scare you off because this med might work for you.

Very helpful video. Just about to start this medication. You have given me a good insight to any risks. Thank you

[LukasIroXMINECRAFT]

Me 18 (male) ive got pregabalin prescribed: I'm on 125mg (1-0-1-0) so 250mg per day (started with 50mg per day) because of neuropathic nerve pain caused by alocholsim (sober alcoholic), RLS and anxiety.... The medication reliefed my pain very well.... but not enough... especially for my legs... arr so I was wondering if you would recommend tpüo increase the dosage to 150mg 2x per day so 300mg daily.... or is this risky because of withdrawls or something like that or is there a point for the pain where a higher pregabalin dosage wont be more useful

[bordercollie]

People who have bad experiences in withdrawal are the ones more likely to comment about it. Some people who get practically no withdrawal are a lot less likely to watch videos like this or comment about them. So basically don't worry about it unless you get them because your really only listening to the scare stories.

I really like it for anxiety, 600mg does the job within an hour!!

[tomassimonides]

Pregabalin is amazing for anxiety, but it is only temporary patch. It lets you live life you like. While doing that find core of your anxiety. Change diet, stop drinking, smoking, start exercise, find stress free job, join yoga etc. Yes there will be time to come off, but you ll be stronger than ever before. wean off slowly. Some peoples symptoms might be worse than actual withdrawals. Also when weaning off more glutamate is released in your brain than you are used to. Maybe glutamate low diet could help that during bad times. Just thinking

I just started taking this 2 days ago for TMJ pain. 75mgs once at bedtime.
I felt good after 30-60 minutes of taking the first dose. The next day I felt a little anxious, so I went and had a puff of marijuana (like I normally do) and I was instantly super anxious, super panicky and almost suicidal.
I stopped smoking and took it again last night. This morning I woke up with a terrible headache and my heart was pounding. This afternoon the heart pounding is gone but still feeling a little anxious. My questions.. obviously the marijuana increased the side effects, but I’m wondering if these other side effects will go away with time? Should I keep taking it or stop? I’m only taking it once a day and I’m noticing a lot of research is recommending 2-3 times a day.
Could I be experiencing withdrawals from the pregabilin 12-16 hours after taking the last dose? Or am I feeling withdrawal from not smoking marijuana? (Im a daily user)
Any info would be super helpful please!!

Been use it for neuropathy. How to taper off without horrible withdrawal symptoms??

[michaelfowler]

I wish I could take it, but it causes swelling in my hands, arm, feet, legs. It's sucks that I can't take it, because it seemed to help with my pain.

[terezobert]

I have severe neuropathy. My hands and legs go numb all the time and then they start to tingle/burn. I take 150mg of Lyrica twice a day. It helps pretty good I guess. Sometimes I forget to take it and then I realize I've run out and need a new script. If I can't get a hold of my DR. by the 4th day I am violently ill. I wish there was another medicine I could take.

[sthefanieguimaraes]

I have fibromyalgia and I was taking pregabalin once a day 75mg. During quarantine I was without the drug and I cant go to the doctor, since I have bronchitis. So I went cold turkey, basically since last week. I cannot endure the migraines/headaches any longer, it feel like my brain is burning, is that a common effect of the withdraw? How long does it last?

[truepeacefromviolence]

i use three 150 MG pill at a time . gets you relaxed am i abusing it ?

[dangitdan]

Taking it now for post surgery back/leg pain, no noticeable improvement or side effects yet but I'm only on 150mg a day. Increasing 50mg weekly till it works or I notice any side effects but I was previously on gabapentin but it made me dopey and the dry mouth was too bad to continue use with no positive effects. Next step is a possibility of nerve blocking injections and I'm not too keen on the idea.
If you're debating back surgery for pain (laminectomy or discectomy) I'd try all the alternatives first as, I found out AFTER surgery, the failure rate of the procedure is 40%.

What is muscle braking please tell me it means. Thank u sir. Bless u!

[parsnip]

I have a box or pregabalin 75 that contains two capsules. Is each capsule 75 mg, or do both add up to 75mg? In other words, if I take both at the same time is the dosage 150mg? There's a huge difference between taking one capsule and taking two together!

[goldmaster]

This is my first night taking Lyrica. It's calmed me down alot and my tremor has lessened. I'm worried about the middle of the night. Gotta get my sleep.
