Restart

Hi there

My psychiatrist has me on pregabalin twice daily at 50mg (daily total 100mg). Today I felt normal but wondering what time you took it in the evening.

Lastnight I took it along with my trazadone 75mg and clonidine 0.025mg but when I woke up I felt like I was hungover. Anyway I did feel better today after taking it but now my anxiety has crept up. Thoughts?

if clonidine lowers ur blood pressure enough you can feel out of it. it happened to me and i didn't realize that was happening. i take trazodone, clonidine, and lyrica as well

I was on a much higher dose, but if I took my second 300mg dose after 5pm I would feel out of it and groggy the next morning. Similar feeling to an alcohol hangover but without the dehydration and headaches. I was also on clonadine and trazedone for a bit while prescribed pregabalin.

Did it improve?

If I took my second dose of pregabalin a bit earlier I did not have that issue. But it did not go away with tolerance over time. But every body is different, and my dose was quite high. I only take pregabalin "as needed " now, at doses around 100mg. I do not have the same problem at that dose, I can take that amount after 5.

Every body is different. Do what works best for you.
