I have been on Pregabalin for about 2 years and it works pretty good and you don´t build tolerance like with benzos so maybe try that.

I've been on Pregabalin before for pain I'll ask about this next time I see my GP but I don't know if my health issues will stop me from having it.

Was back in 2015 I had it bet they don't hand it out anymore plus my health issue is my kidneys and it seems its bad for that too so I'm fucked all round.

Well I have used it over 2 years without problems, and should I someone keel over then win win I am on a suicide forum after all. I was jeg trying to help since I too had bad experience with Sertraline and benzos is a no go since after you build up tolerance the withdrawals are horrible.

'What happens for many people is that they get reduced prescriptions but then source more of the drug themselves.'

When you buy drugs online it is a complete lottery. You never know what it is you are taking and you don't know if the dose is what you are being told it is.

I was researching it years ago when I started taking it. Some people got eight grams of it during clinical trials. I remember it being a single dose, but I could remember wrong, it may have been the 24h dose.

Considering that it potentiates so many drugs, pointing finger at pregabalin specifically is just the Daily Mail science.

i used to be on venlafaxine which my GP advised would treat both my depression & my anxiety. it did the job to be fair, unsure if this is of any use?
