Had bloods done last week and got results today
Low iron and folic again !! Not happy bout that but I have noticed a lot of us suffer with this but they also told me my cholesterol has gone up !!! Scared is not the word but I have looked up can medication make your cholesterol higher and it says that pregabalin can !!! God so not only do u get fat on these drugs but u get high cholesterol

Hi Sadie
me too, also low magnesium and yes to the weight gain. I'm on gabapentin. Yes to the increased cholesterol.
happy days!
OMG really! Are you on anything for your cholesterol?
No. It seems you have your blood test and are told your cholesterol is high, your given an appointment to see the dr who then explains that medication can cause high cholesterol but in fact the cholesterol isn't that high for your age...........all this and we have heredatory heart issues.
Well I've got doctors on Friday so will discuss then but I'm not to happy about it x
HI Sadie,
yes some drugs have made my blood pressure go up. We all react differently to meds. I went of fun ever all drugs that had that effect until one did not cause my blood pressure ti rise.
Just in a bit of shock lol
