I took 100mg daily (am and pm), for,
4 months for severe pain down my arm, and hand from trapped nerves in
my cervical spine.
Whilst on the drug I felt hungover all the time, couldnt walk a straight line,
my balance was terrible and my head felt so weird, I was thinking I was
developing dementia. Plus daily headaches. I reduced the dose over 2 weeks to 25mg, then after a week on that I stopped altogether. Since coming off Pregablin 4months ago, I have had the worst insomnia imaginable. Has anyone had this happen to them, and how long does it last. I would welcome any advice.

Hi there and yes to all your question.. I’ve been off the awful drug now for 2 months and the sleep disturbances and no sleep it horrific.. I’m dreading bedtime now.. I used to sleep so well.. my doctor has said things will settle eventually so in the meantime I take nytol from the chemist which has helped but I really don’t want to be on anything but desperately need sleep..

I even ended up in hospital with palpitations for 3 hrs with the withdrawal effects.. even now I get them but only briefly.. I had to stop pregabalin due to the same issues you had and had it for trapped nerve in neck and arm and still have but I was not ‘me’ anymore whilst on it I had all the same as you did and driving was a nightmare nearly falling asleep.. I now nearly overdose on paracetamol and use a tens machine with heat patches until I’m sorted properly.. I’d never touch that drug ever again it’s horrific
