Had to contact emergency Line

I have tried to come down off my Pregabalin

Need to feel better as I have work tomorrow

  • Lightheadness
  • Insomnia
  • Brain Zaps
  • Feeling sick
  • Heart palpitations

Not sure if these qualify as something to call them

A nurse will contact me

Need to know if something I can get over the counter today will help me feel better

Withdrawals suck

Heart palpitations are a good reason to call, especially along with lightheadedness. I think you made the right choice. Better safe than sorry.

Ok cool. I have been taking paracetamol but it doesn’t seem to be helping

I literally feel like fainting whenever I move my head quickly up or down

Can’t pick anything up without my head tipping around

Nasty stuff

It’s always a good idea to tell the medical professionals what meds you are taking and how many milligrams in situations like that.

I’ve had an allergic reaction to a medication before. It left my tongue numb and I was unable to speak. Had me worried.

It’s scary stuff… I am reducing without knowledge of pdoc

Some medications have horrible withdrawal symptoms if left cold turkey. When I stopped Invega I was awake for two straight weeks and was going out of my mind.

This time around since I’ve switched to caplyta, I was prescribed low dose olanzapine and instructed to reduce over the course of three weeks. That very well could be why you’re having a rough time.

I am doing it slowly, but my body seems to be addicted

This is also used as a nasty street drug, and I don’t want to take it anymore

My goal is to be on Amisulpride (At a reduced dose eventually) and nothing else

Since my old pdoc retired, I have clocked up to 8 meds and 3 new Dx’s…

Now I am down to three meds, which is all my doing

I think it’d be a good idea to call your acting psychiatrist and let them know.

I will try tomorrow

Right now I need advice I think out of hours

They might suggest more Antihistamine

I can’t really offer advice as I’m not a medical professional. I think you made a smart move in dialing an emergency number, they’ll be better at making sure you’ll be alright.

Thanks for your input, I appreciate it. Just waiting for a call back
