A diabetic patient with neuropathy pain was prescribed Pregabalin 75 mg. He thought it was harmless. Just for nerve pain.
Months passed. The dose went up to 150 mg, then 300 mg. He couldn't stop. Withdrawal symptoms hit: anxiety, sweating, seizures.
He started buying Pregabalin from anyone. No prescription. No doctor. His blood sugar became uncontrolled. His kidneys began to fail.
The drug that was supposed to help him destroyed him. I was there when his wife cried in the pharmacy: "He wasn't like this before."
Pregabalin is not safe for long-term use. It changes brain chemistry and causes dependence faster than many realize. Doctors prescribe it like candy for back pain, fibromyalgia, and anxiety. They forget: this is a controlled substance.
Ask your doctor: How long will I take this? What are withdrawal symptoms? Is there a safer alternative?
Don't let a "safe" drug steal your life.
