Bonjour à tous,
Je souhaite commencer à réduire ma dose de Pregabaline, car j'ai pris beaucoup de poids en la prenant ainsi que de l'Amitriptyline. J'ai réussi à réduire et à arrêter l'Amitriptyline sans effets indésirables, et je me demande si quelqu'un ici a réussi à se sevrer de la Pregabaline. Je prends actuellement la dose maximale : 300 mg deux fois par jour. Des conseils ? x
I wanted to write this myself the weight gain is stupid but so is the pain I'm only on 150mg a day and I still have pain at the mo I've had a period 3 times within a month with terrible cramps I don't no if this is to do with the fibro but it's killing me !!! No advice really just goodly k keep me updated as I want to do it but is it get fat with no pain or be in pain and be slim
Bonjour Sadie,
oui, c'est bien la question ! J'ai aussi remarqué que j'étais devenue assez détachée émotionnellement, alors je me demande aussi si l'arrêt du traitement ne va pas me transformer en épave émotionnelle ! Les mauvaises crampes menstruelles pourraient bien être dues à la fibromyalgie ; heureusement, je suis passée par là. Prenez soin de vous x
Hi, I was on that amount for a few years with all the weight gain and severe headaches too. It took me six months to come off it, but I'm glad I did. I'm on another medication now and slowly reducing my weight. My mood isn't as swingy i suppose I could call it. I'm not up and down as often. I'm really glad I came off it. So you can get off it but you need to reduce it in very small amounts and every few weeks. Good luck, but I'm sure you won't need it you'll be fine.
Thanks for your reply I just don't no what to do if I stop them the pain will be back but what other choice do I have ?
Can I ask what other medication your on ?
Bonjour Maley Bear, merci pour votre réponse. Je consulterai mon médecin généraliste avant de commencer à réduire. J'ai lu que l'on réduit la dose de 75 mg par jour, pendant une semaine à la fois, mais vous avez dû le faire plus lentement si cela a pris six mois ? Et comme Sadie, j'aimerais savoir quels autres médicaments vous prenez. x
I have just been told today by my doctor that being on Pregablin is like taking Cannibis. I didn't know this and he has reducded me from 150 mg to 100mg and then 50mg..
I constantly have headaches and have gain over 2 stone in weight. I feel emotionally switched off as well. This could also be to do with other medications I am on.
I don't know if there is side effects while reducing.
Hi, Well I'm on quite a list but the pain meds are naproxen, amitriptoline and tramadol. When I was on Pregabalin I wasn't on amitriptoline. I found that when I was on Pregabalin I gained four stone and even if I took my tablet half and hour later than I normally did I would suffer debilitating migraines, that would put me out of action for the whole day. I couldn't live like that any longer, I had been on them for two and half years so not as long as some. But my doctor was addiment I had to come off them really slowly because of the migraines, (which effected my blood pressure) and the adverse effect Pregabalin was having on me. I hope I have given you something to think about. 🙂
