So I went back to Pregabalin. I stopped it in December, and have tried LDN and CBD oil since. I can’t go more than 1.5 mg LDN or I can’t sleep at all, potentially causing seizures as I’m epileptic. And the CBD oil had no impact at all. I’ve found that 50 mg Pregabalin and 1.5 mg LDN combined give me enough relief that I can live positively.
I know that’s extremely low doses but for whatever reason I’m so sensitive to any medication. I have side effects, dizziness, dry mouth, fogginess but not as bad as when I was at 200mg Pregabalin. I hope I’ve found a combination I can live with. I was very close to the edge a few times in recent months and I hope not to be there again.
I’m really just sharing in case this helps anyone else – the lesson I’ve learned is only I am responsible for what works for me, and I have to be the master of my own destiny. I have to tell doctors what works for me rather than ask what might work for me.
