Hello, at the last visit the psychiatrist increased my dose of pregabalin to 600mg (I am being treated for OCD). After the increase, I developed heaviness in maintaining balance and dullness. Will it pass? Or is it better to go to a visit and stop taking the medicine?

If you experience bothersome and persistent side effects after increasing the dose of Pregabalin, I encourage you to consult your doctor again. Do not stop using the drug until the consultation: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/produkty/89744/pregabalin-zentiva-kapsulki/apteki If it is not possible to visit stationary, I encourage you to use the teleadvice offered, m.in. by the Gdziepolek.pl portal: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/telekonsultacja I encourage you to read the additional opinion on the subject of Pregabalin: https://www.gdziepolek.pl/opinie-i-pytania/96189/witam-pregabalin-zentiva-zastosowano-u-mnie-na-zlagodzenie-samoi I also encourage you to report the side effects of Pregabalin.
