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.

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?

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.

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.
