I recently increased my pregabalin which was 200mg at night and added an additional 50mg (taking 25mg twice during the day). I am experiencing all of the above in my title. It's been about a week. Have I increased it too much? Or do I just need to adjust to the new dose?
Does anyone suffer from constipation on pregabalin? Does it affect motility? I go every day, a few times a day, but am still bloated and gastroenterologist says I'm constipated. I don't know what else it could be but the pregablin. I did just increase my dose.
I keep being awakened by three or four bowel movements early, early in the morning, before even getting up (not diarrhea). I know I should be grateful. But by the time I actually get up, I'm weak and exhausted. It takes so much out of me! I'm almost sick. The rest of the day, I'm just in full bloat. Can you actually move the time you evacuate!?
I have been taking 200 mg at night (I sleep well on it) for six months for nerve pain and anxiety but I'm finding everything is heightened (pain and anxiety) during the day after the night dose wears off, and 200 isn't really working, so I am trying to increase it. I've been taking 50 mg additional during the day for three days, and still the 200 at night. Feeling pretty terrible during the day with nausea - and bad dreams at night - but I assume I need to adjust to it. (My psychiatrist pretty much lets me decide whether to trial increase or decrease to see if I feel better.) Could the additional 50 be too high? I tried 25 during the day, but felt bad also, so I figured I might as well try 50. Do I just need to adjust to it?
Can you get withdrawal symptoms if stopping after only 4 days? I'm on 0.5. Nausea in particular.
I'm on 200mg at night (six months) but suffer from it wearing off by daytime. And my anxiety and nerve pain are extreme during the day. Can I just divide it up, like 100 twice a day, immediately. Or do I have to do it slowly?
I've been on 200mg for nine months for anxiety and nerve pain. It has petered out and no longer works. It never really solved my anxiety completely, but did a little. I'm trying to decide whether to increase or start titrating off. I've really gone through the gamut of SSRIs, SNRIS, etc. So this is what my psychiatrist put me on. Has anyone experienced this?
Taking 0.5, on day six, but can't function with nausea, lightheadedness/dizziness. Can I take every other day to adjust?
Does coffee help anyone with the fatigue from ldn?
Only on day 3 of 0.5 mg at night. Prescribed for spinal inflammation and pain. Nauseous, dizzy, in worse pain during the day. Tried 1.5 for five days but the side effects were even worse. So starting slower. I know it takes a few weeks to adjust, but is this going to be worth 0.5 helping me at all? I cannot function during the day. Or is this just not for me?
Just started 0.5 mg last night (for inflammation after spinal fusion surgery) and wondering if these side effects are normal, and for how long?
I am starting 0.5mg today for inflammation in my spine from spinal fusion surgery. I have horrible health anxiety and when starting new medications and I am extremely anxious today about starting. Can someone reassure me that I can benefit from LDN?
I'm on my third day of fosfomycin for a UTI and am so sick - nauseous, weak and fatigued. Are these side effects of the fosfomycin, or is it the uti itself?
I'm still in a lot of pain 16 months out from spinal fusion from T10 to pelvis and ALIF L5-S1. My pain management doctor says I have a lot of inflammation and is prescribing LDN. Meanwhile, do you think ice or heat is helpful for inflammation pain?
I was recently put on 600mg (ALA) alpha lipoic acid for some bad neuropathy I'm experiencing. I had a cadaverous kidney transplant 13 years ago. Although I assumed the neurologist looked at my medical history, I'm seeing a lot of warnings about taking ALA with immunosupressants. I'm checking with my nephrologist tomorrow, but has anyone with a transplant been put on ALA? I'm freaking out a bit here...
I am sooooo tired of thinking about bowel movements: how many I've had, how many I haven't had, how many I should have. About food I should be eating, foods I shouldn't be eating. Too much fiber, or not enough fiber. I'm 72, and no longer want to spend my remaining years thinking about this cr*p. Literally. Thank you for your time.
Have just been prescribed both since I'm 16 months out of spinal fusion surgery and have inflammation and neuropathy issues, and my back pain is extreme. Has anyone been suggested either of these by your doctors?
I've been prescribed 600mg once a day by my neurologist for neuropathy, but I see some split their dose 300 mg twice a day. Is it as effective if it's split up?
I have neuropathy and wear tight leggings. Should I be wearing loose clothing, or these compression type leggings?
I've been on 200mg for anxiety and nerve pain, but it no longer works. My psychiatrist pretty much lets me increase or decrease. If I need to get up to 300mg, should I increase in 25mg increments, or can I go higher?
