What people say about Pregabalin and mood
“I’ve since trialled Pregabalin and currently been on Lamotrigine for 7 weeks and zero improvement.”
“Best results I got with pregabalin, phenibut and sometimes some benzos...Pregabalin makes you feel a little stupid (hard to recall words, you feel like you're slurring your speech) at a dose where it's actually working for motivation and anxiolytic effects (~100-150mg in my case)”
“PRN: Pregabalin 50mg 3x/day (can make me sad/tired/loopy, worsening EF and thus worsening anxiety).”
“the occasional recreational use of about 1g - 1.5g of pregabalin every 2 weeks - gives me a great day of not feeling depressed”
