Good morning, Since yesterday I have been taking Pregabalin 50mg (twice a day) prescribed by a psychiatrist for anxiety. After taking it, I feel very tired, I have balance disorders, and it's hard for me to concentrate for a few hours. Is this normal? Will these side effects of the drug pass with the time of treatment? I'm cheering.

Pregabalin very often (in more than 1 in 10 people) can cause dizziness or drowsiness. Common side effects (may affect up to 1 in 10 people) include confusion, confusion, difficulty focusing, memory impairment, tiredness, "strange" mood or balance disorders. The side effects described may or may not occur. They do not pose an immediate threat, but they can be a nuisance. Your entry shows that you should avoid driving a car or operating machines in motion. Sometimes they are more severe at the beginning of therapy, but there is no guarantee that they will definitely disappear completely. If the described ailments are very severe, will not decrease over time and you will not be able to accept them, it will be advisable to consult the doctor who prescribed the drug.
