I tried pregabalin a few years ago. I reacted very badly to it in the same way I react terribly to gabapentin. My depression was made worse, and I was left with cognitive impairments, some derealization, and an unremitting brain-fog. These things lingered for a few weeks after discontinuing the drug.

I wouldn't think so, but I am not sure. I had not a single withdrawal symptom upon discontinuation of Lyrica. It's just that the cognitive side effects persisted well after I discontinued the drug.

Hi,

I'm on 100 mg of Lyrica, which I take at bedtime.
This medicine augments my sleep in combination with Remeron.

After struggling with Elavil for 37 years,
I have finally come up with a good cocktail of drugs.

Best regards,
Peter Heuer

Wellbutrin XL 150 mg
Remeron 45 mg
Lyrica 100 mg
Buspar 40 mg
Fluanxol 1 mg
