Side effects?
Im UK based and im on Pregabalin, ive seen some chat in this forum of people having some bad experiences or side effects etc and ive been feeling some dizziness, memory issues, dropping things/loosing things and appetite increase.
Last night some side effects hit me like a train, i went out with friends for 2 hrs for halloween, had 3 pints and 2 shots before heading home. For context, i could normally drink a bottle of wine without feeling much, but since my lap i dont drink often now to try reduce flare ups
Walking back i got so dizzy i could hardly see, sight completely spinning, big staggering and i got really physically ill. This kept up 4 hrs+ after drinking any alcohol, it was scary feeling so out of control of body walking by myself.
Went to a friends place safely and my partner picked me up.
I didnt know of any issues with alcohol when my dose was raised but i have read about dizziness, appetite etc
Has anyone on this medication felt any changes/side effects? Im really trying to find out how more ppl felt on this from others who've taken it too 🙏
