@pankaj I’m really sorry you’re having so much trouble. You started with pregabalin in Dec’18 with 150 mg? And you’re up to 300mg now. Is this correct? Usually doctors will increase dosages slowly so the worst side effects can be avoided. Did your doctor explain that this is what he/she is doing? If you need to, make an appointment and have a discussion with you doctor. Are you able to get appointments easily? Let us know how things turn out. Becky

Thanks, Becky, for your support. Actually, I began pregabalin 150 mg from Feb. 2018 and not Dec. 2018. Sorry for the mistake. In Dec. 2018 I suffered a recurrence of anxiety, due to which my doctor increased the dosage by 75 mg at that time. After about 6 months, in June 2019, I again experienced anxiety. To control it, my doctor has again increased the dosage by 75 mg, and the anxiety again seems to be coming under control. So you will note that the increase in the dosage has been gradual. But my question is how long can the dosage be increased? Not indefinitely. Maybe till 600 mg/day? What after that? So my hope is that my anxiety comes under control within the maximum dosage. Thanks.
