Pregabalin/ Lyrica
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was on 300mg of pregabalin.... on Thurs my Dr upped my dose to 600mg... instantly, giving me 300mg capsules and told me.. 1in the morning & 1 at night
Today I've noticed lots of muscle twitching..it was doing it yesterday ... but today it feels quite bad.
I feel like my whole body is having tremors on the inside x
My hands are twitching ALOT.. and all over my body....

Anyone else had this... Will it pass!

I feel rubbish with pleurisy so I really dont need anymore symptoms!

I haven't had Lyrica but similar happend to me on Gabapentin, the doctor doubled the dose really quickly maybe even tripled I think from 1 a day til 3 a day & I felt like my nerves were like frayed electrical wires buzzing, It was similar to how i felt just before I got shingles...i was also depressed, couldnt sleep & had nightmares when I did & my vision was blurred & glarey, all this in just one week.I would just go back to the 300mg for the minute if you were going alright on that & phone your doctor as soon as you can & let him know what's happening.All the best x

I use this medication but can only take 150mg per day as it lowers my sodium levels. This maybe the case with you get your sodium levels checked on by having a blood test. This causes cramps and twitches and is quite serious get it checked xx

I didn't like what this drug did to me personally. I was on it 3 months and came off it straight away .
Everyone is different mind .
