How long did it take for pregabalin to improve GAD?
How long did it take for pregabalin to improve sleep, and mood?
Unfortunately, both pregabalin and gabapentin are poison to me. It might be related to alpha2delta subunit binding to the calcium channel. I really don't know. I can take either of these drugs for 1 week and experience profound cognitive impairments. After discontinuation, these impairments persist for 4-6 weeks. It is very, very trying to live from day to day that way.
Horse, are you taking any other medication at this time?
