  • 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.

  • 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

  • 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.

  • believe me this drug is hell to come down off worse than antideppresants

  • 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

  • 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?

  • thats anibuse I believe, its designed to make u puke.

    I think u just get more drunk with gabapentin.

  • 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.

  • how do u know they were to blame mate im on preagablin for deppresion u freakd me out a bit my grandad has alziemers i dont want to get that it sucks arse

  • gabapentin works for alcoholics you don't dare drink.....you start vomiting and stop about 48 hours later.
