[tpvalley]

pregabalin is rarely used to treat epilepsy now as its not that effective so u should be ok.

pregabalin for depression?

Doctors said it was his epilepsy meds to blame, he has really bad epilepsy/ was / is on a cocktail of drugs and has been for many years.

[tpvalley]

pregabalin is unusual in UK for depression, is most used for nerve damage/ pain due to nerve spasms my dr told me.

Were u tried on other meds first?

can u drink alcohol?

[cashfan123]

yup ive tryed almost every other med i think this is used as a last hope maybe not sure its worked on me fairly well it works on me as a mood stableizer i can drink if i want to on it aswell but i dont drink much atall coz for days after im deppresed as hell but i do smoke weed thats my escape like

[tpvalley]

I cant smoke weed as all we get is skunk, it makes me feel edgy and anxious and depressed as hell especially if I drink booze, if u had good old morrocan u would be right as rain, but lay off the weed if its skunk.

[cashfan123]

yup i can only get skunk too mate and it sends me skitzo i realy dont know why i smoke the shit lol but i cant drink coz i feel dead deppresed for days after bummer hey man

[tpvalley]

if I drink to much I also get depressed, I only drink 3 cans a day, thats all, I find that after quitting the ganja I dont get anywhere near as depressed if I drink more though, ganja is a massive cash drain. save the money and go to amsterdam.
