Story Update - I talked w my therapist

[sgifeei]

So I talked w my psychiatrist a few hours ago. She added a new med, Pregabalin, and it may help me w my somatic issues, like hand and leg twitching due to anxiety.
I think she will not put me in a psych ward, she said, and I quote "… and after the school ends we will see what to do next" idk what that means…
Plz tell me if you had an expierience with that medication and if it helped you.

pregabaline is one of the reasons im here, it gave me the worst withdrawals with constant suicide thoughts I can't do nothing without this drugs... I don't recommed taking it daily due to the big dependace it creates... you can take it in as rescue like one time a week max, it's a very addictive drug althought psychiatrist don't warn about it!
Be careful

I took pregabalin like a decade ago. I was up to a large dose. I don't remember that it was much of an issue to get off it. I guess it depends on each person
