cant find nearly anything online about it but its the only med ive ever taken and the second i lowered my dose ( halved it within 2 weeks after 4 years of usage ) i got severe agonising akathisia for days and only now get some relief.
if anyone has ever gotten aka from pregabalin please let me know, feels really isolating not being able to find much info or others with this experience
i believe my aka is caused by a sudden lower dose of pregablin that i was on for years, and im wondering if instead of staying on a stable dose i should just look at trying to get off it alltogether. just whatever makes this stop faster
ive been on 100mg for 4 years now. recently, in the span of 2 weeks, i lowered it to 75-50 a day. i realise now this was too sudden, but ive ended up with agonising, severe akathisia.
wondering if anyone has had the same experience or has any advice, im just desperate for any support at all. thankyou
my aka began on sunday, i cannot stop moving or walking and the mental distress is unbearable. i have severe flareups where i just writhe on the floor in agony.
i was on pregabalin 50mg twice daily for four years and then tried reducing my dose quite quickly within a week and a half and thats when this began. i do also have chronically low iron but i had an infusion a week ago. ive been taking 75mg a day of pregabalin since just to keep an even dose as suggester by my doctor.
i cant sleep more than an hour, im so exhausted im barely even able to think to type this but i cant stop moving, its like someone is electrocuting me.
is it best to just go back to my normal pregab dose or just stop altogether? i just need anything thatll make this stop. im taking propranolol but the relief is minimal same for things like melatonin for sleep.
please help me
ive been withdrawing from pregablin from 100mg a day to 50mg a day, and forgot my dose yesterday morning and had only 25mg.
since then ive had a feeling of being unable to stop moving, like i want to just rip out of my skin and be sedated because i cant cope.
if i go back to my normal dose how long for this to go away? and what can i do to make it stop
hi,
i was told by my physiotherapist today i have cubital tunnel. my right arm from the elbow down , is incredibly sore, and aching. my forearm feels weak and my hand is too, kind of like when your hands are cold and move slower. i have a numb pinky and ring finger sometimes on waking up, and the cause is excessive computer use i think.
ive been given some exercises to do, but im wondering what else can i do to get rid of this as fast as i can, and should i be concerned by the intense ache / weakness feeling in my forearm and hand. ive heard people only having slight numbness in their fingers.
ive only had numbness in my ring and pinky on waking up, other than that theyre fine. any advice for what to do to help myself would be seriously appreciated as ive been signed off work and cant do any hobbies.
hello,
over the weekend my forearm started to ache badly while playing video games on mouse and keyboard. it had been aching here and there for a couplr weeks but i didnt think anything of it. i turned off my computer and went to bed and ever since my arm , wrist and fingers have been aching and feel weak and slow. the muscles at my elbow bone keep twitching and its constant discomfort doing daily tasks. the pain is sometimes in my wrist and fingers too.
any song i press on recently takes 10-30 seconds to play, even if downloaded. searching for songs or opening playlist takes forever regardless of settings. its like this for me on multiple devices, and im wondering if anyone else experiences this
