Thank you , Tom and I know exactly what you mean …. I just want to be me again . Bc I have forgotten “ Me off of clonazepam “ lol 10 yrs .. I hope this Pregabalin will work .. It’s been 4.5 weeks since 1 cpam … now I’ve only been on Pregabalin for approx. 6 weeks . However , when I started to taper from 4 capsules per day to 3 .. same terrible wds as clonazepam… it def must be the same kind of drug ? Pregabalin is not my drug of choice but now im stuck and they can’t taper slowly bc they don’t have tablets in Canada yet ? Or so the pharmacist told me . Im on 2 per day but in between each capsule when it wears off .. it back come the wds ? Then I start to get tired of feeling “ crumby “ I know you have to be a little more patient but it’s hard … Pregabalin makes you feel like a zombie ? Who talks too much and as you can see types too much ! 😂 blurred vision ! Really shouldn’t drive while you’re on them . But I still have all of the side effects after 6 weeks , can remember what I got up for and constantly have to think for a couple of seconds before I can remember the name of someone or the place we just visited ..,that was scary ? I actually had to think about it , Jamaica 2 months ago . So yeah … I’m finished with these tomorrow . I’ll try to taper with the last one and see how it goes . If not crazy wds like klonopin.. I will try and fight through them .. but if it continues into the next day .. I can’t . And I’m not staying on these crazy drugs ! Wow ? So it will be back to my refill . I thought the Pregabalin would be so much easier . I’m only on 150 mgs now and .75 mgs tomorrow and maybe 1 more the next day . I’ll keep you updated and let you know how I made out by Wednesday . Sorry for long message .. most people just skim through them .😂😂 husband , kids … best friend ? Nobody can read a novel they say .. lol take care for now Tom ! And thank you very much for your support ❤️

Hi Dedra,

There is a blood test for psycho genetic test to see if you can’t take certain medication. Simply a blood test that I ask my doctor to due. My insurance paid for the test and it involved medication like benzodiazepines. I find that on certain medications I have a. Certain reaction and I can’t take the medication. Unfortunately Valium I found out I can take.it. I understand about support. My family didn’t realize the severity of withdrawal. I was on a journey all by myself. I can’t emphasize that my spiritual relationship with God, Jesus and the Holyn Spirit was a Hugh part of my journey. Dedra please hang in to life. The journey does get better. Don’t worry I enjoy your post. Thank you for being so thoughtful.

Sincerely,
Tom
