Pens, it appears you have an allergic reaction to one of your drugs. When did the itching start? Why are you changing pregabalin? How much pregabalin is in 10mL?

I’m very sensitive to any meds. I seem to have reactions to any antidepressants right now. I even have to watch what I eat. I don’t like the side effects to pregabolin and the doctor gave it to me for mood only. I’m not taking that much sertraline. I had it once a long time ago. Not for very long and didn’t experience the tremors ect. That I’m having now. Was using a syringe to taper with 10 ml. Not taking it now though. I’m presently taking 50 mg in the morning and 50 mg. In the evening for 1 month.  
 

thankyou for mentioning the Reactin previously. Since then I have stopped taking it and Gravol and my breathing has improved.

Hi Pens,

 

Was your 10 mL equivalent to 10 mg though Pens?

That was the question.  I think you had related to me that it was.  And you need to report doses in mg or milligrams.

 

I think you still may be shifting too much at once, personally.  Dropping this and that, in tandem, rarely, if ever pans out.

 

I know you were waiting for a response to this, and then a previous question on how to split your dosing of pregablin:

 

On 1/2/2021 at 8:14 AM, Pens said:

Happy new year. 
Monday I will be stopping the 10 ml. Pregabolin  and wondered if I should start taking 25 mg pill four times a day or if I should just wait a month after I stop taking the 10 ml. If that makes sense.

 

Were you liquifying the one mid-day dose?  And how?  What concentration?

How are you liquifying your 8am dose now?

 

And I would think 3 times a day to get your 99 or 100 mg dose of pregabalin in each day?

I'm wondering what you might have done since the 4th, I do see that it appears you are taking a liquid dose in the morning now.  Please report the dose, in milligrams(mg) and not the mL or millileter.

 

When you started the pregabalin last May, how were you splitting it?  I mean, was it 3 times each day for the total dose, or 4 times each day?  How was this prescribed to you?

 

I'm thinking if you go to 3 times/day for your total dose of 100 mg, that it should be done gradually, and not all at once.  Just like when one goes to liquid from solid, we strongly suggest a gradual cross over.

 

So next you might, just HOLD on using the a liquid in the morning, and your solid form of pregabalin in the evening for a bit longer.  And then eventually, if it was me, and I wanted to get to split doses three times a day.........I might go with liquidfying the PM dose next, and HOLDING, for at least a week after, and then......depending on how you are adjusting, go to 33 mg of pregabalin, at 8 am, 2 pm, and then 8 pm. 

How does that sound?  You've been doing 8 am, 2 pm, and then 8 pm?

 

If you went every 6 hours though, you'd need to go with 25 mg, at 8 am, 2 pm, 8 pm, and then a 2 am dose.

That's why I'm asking how it was prescribed in the first place.

 

And okay, so you feel less allergic after ditching all your antihistamines?  The Gravol and Reactin?

 

Try, try to hold steady for at least a week, and again, one change at a time too.

 

And Notes, you have got those down.  Narratives are okay too Pens, just separate them out from the Notes. 

And apologies, I'm not always here......well here, as much as I used to be, as I move into ski-ing and Yoga certification training.  And have all my usual other stuff going too.  So the clearer your information is, including signature, and everything......makes it easier when others might come by to help.

 

Okie doke.

L, P, H, and G,

Late 2023- gone to emeritus status, inactive, don't @ me, I can check who I've posted on, and I'm not really here like I used to be......thanks.

Started with psycho meds/psychiatric care circa 1988.  In retrospect, and on contemplation, situational overwhelm.

Rounding up to 30 years of medications(30 medication trials, poly-pharmacy maximum was 3 at one time).

5/28/2015-off Adderal salts 2.5mg. (I had been on that since hospital 10/2014)

12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs.  My last psycho med ever!  Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to

2016 Dec 16 medication free!!

Longer signature post here, with current supplements.

Herb and alcohol free since 5/15/2016.  And.....I quit smoking 11/2021. Lapsed.  Redo of quit smoking 9/28/2022.  Can you say Hallelujah?(took me long enough)💜

10 ml. Was liquid and equivalent to the 10 milligrams. I mixed a capsule of 25 mg with 25 ML of water.

I’m taking a 50 mg capsule at eight in the morning and eight in the evening. I discontinued the 10 ML of liquid at 2 PM.

 

As of the end of November my doctor started to prescribe 50 mg of pregabolin  capsule form Three times a day I only did that for a couple days then tapered the 2 o’clock dose down to 25 mL of liquid, I was mixing a 25 mg capsule with 25 mL of water.. Then began tapering down to 10 ml. And now I’m just taking a 50 mg pill in the morning and one at night. For a total. of 100 mg.  Before that I was taking once in the evenings, about 125 mg  two 50 and a 25 pills together.  Very chaotic. Now it’s more stable. Noticing my prescription bottle says pre Gabalin 50 mg one caplet twice daily and one 25  mg caplet as directed, which I was taking at 2 o’clock in the afternoon but have discontinued

Hi Pens,

Any change in the itching?  Did you see Alto's last question?

 

Did you have these "tremors" before starting pregabalin and sertraline?

 

Did you skip the pregabalin, on January 9th?  That will throw you off if you do that.

 

And then I am just trying to look at your notes, with an eye towards do we need to split your 2 doses further, or not......before you next resume tapering.

And then, **important too, is that you'll want to take the 10 % off each dose, when you next taper.  It comes out to be the same, exactly, as if you take 10% of the total daily dose.

 

If you switch to homemade liquid again, it's best to do that gradually, not all at once, and then, not at the same time that you are doing a reduction. 

 

We usually suggest:

Same dose

1/4 liquid and 3/4 solid for total daily dose on days 1-3

1/2 liquid and 1/12 solid for total daily dose on days 4-6

3/4 liquid and 1/4 solid for total daily dose on days 7-9

And then to all liquid on day 10.  If at any point though there are bumps, you can stay longer at that stage, while your body adjusts to the change in formulation.

 

Looks like you've had some better moments Pens, but never an entire day really.  I don't blame you for feeling frustrated and tired of watching what you eat all the time.  You are doing a good job though, of trying to figure out what causes the allergic responses, I think.  Do you have an epi pen at home for "just in case", of a severe allergic reaction?

 

And I know you want off, the pregabablin......as soon as possible, but maybe there is some benefit?  Any at all of a positive benefit from the pregabalin?

And then, as you started both sertraline and pregabalin at the same time, how do you know which was the worst culprit for you?  If that makes sense.  I just wonder.  As I think that ordinarily, we'd go with the pregabalin being possibly more of a "brake", and then the sertraline, as an "accelerator", and would usually have you get off the sertraline first, and then the pregabalin.

 

But if you feel sure, that the pregabalin should go first, then tell me a bit more, on the why of that.

 

Okay Pens.  And sleep sweetie.  Oh my gosh, I can only imagine what even 3 or 4 nights of good long restorative sleeps would do for you.......so......I am hoping on that.

 

Thanks for all the updates, and notes.

L, P, H, and G,

Late 2023- gone to emeritus status, inactive, don't @ me, I can check who I've posted on, and I'm not really here like I used to be......thanks.

Started with psycho meds/psychiatric care circa 1988.  In retrospect, and on contemplation, situational overwhelm.

Rounding up to 30 years of medications(30 medication trials, poly-pharmacy maximum was 3 at one time).

5/28/2015-off Adderal salts 2.5mg. (I had been on that since hospital 10/2014)

12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs.  My last psycho med ever!  Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to

2016 Dec 16 medication free!!

Longer signature post here, with current supplements.

Herb and alcohol free since 5/15/2016.  And.....I quit smoking 11/2021. Lapsed.  Redo of quit smoking 9/28/2022.  Can you say Hallelujah?(took me long enough)💜

Sorry, didn’t notice this until now. The itching isn’t as bad since I’ve decreased from 125 mg to 75 mg. I do have dry skin and have read that itching can be a side effect to pregabolin.

I took sertraline back in 2015 for approximately six months and don’t remember feeling like this. I was working then full time and now I can barely function. I’ve read the side effects of pregabolin and im sure I have most of them.  I’m on week 4 of my 75 mg hold

Same dose

1/2 liquid and 1/12 solid for total daily dose on days 4-6

3/4 liquid and 1/4 solid for total daily dose on days 7-9

And then to all liquid on day 10.  If at any point though there are bumps, you can stay longer at that stage, while your body adjusts to the change in formulation.

Not sure I understand the fractions part. Do I go down 10% on the morning pill (25) mg and hold for a week then go down 10% on the second pill and so on to the 3rd.

Pens, 

What you quoted above is regarding a cross over from solid to liquid form of your pregablin.

If your 3 doses of 25 mg, are not all liquid yet, then you would need to do some form of cross over, based on what that quote directs.

 

If you are already on 3 doses, of liquified pregabalin, each 25 mg, for a total daily dose strength of 75 mg, then:

Calculate your 10% reduction based on the total daily dosage.

Here's an easy way to do that:

X signifies multiplying

75 mg(total daily dose) X .90 = 67.5 mg

Take the 67.5 mg and divide it by 3.

I get 22.5 mg, which now represents what you take for each of your 3 doses.

 

You can round up, or down if you need to for accuracy.  If you have a 1 mg per 1 mL solution of your pregablin liquid, you can just go with taking the volume of 22.5 mL, for each dose.

You should be able to measure 1/2 mL okay or 0.5 mL okay.

 

If your concentration is not 1 mg per 1 mL, and you need to round up or down, with the mg to accurately measure, that is okay.

You need to know, and certainly, we'd like to know the dose in mg that you are taking, when you report the pregabalin in notes, or in your signature.

 

mg stands for milligrams, the dose strength

mL stands for millileters, the volume of liquid

 

I hope that helps.  This way you will continue taking even dose strengths, for each of your doses.  And is the better way to go, to keep a nice steady level of the pregablin in your system each day.  You may still experience WD.

Have you experienced WD from pregablin with your other dose changes to it?

I took sertraline back in 2015 for approximately six months and don’t remember feeling like this.

 

Chances are very good Pens, that your system is now more sensitized.  Which means that you can't go on and off drugs like you used to be able to do, and most likely won't have the same results from drugs that you once had. 

 

Is what you are feeling now worse than what you were feeling before you opted to go back on the drugs? 

And the mirtazapine WD, may be protracted, meaning that you may be still experiencing that.

Are you off the mirtazapine now?  Your signature is a little unclear.

So....while scanning, saw your post......so I hope this helps. 

Do be brave, and know, that this isn't 2015 anymore!  6 years since, and some disruptions via the meds/drugs to your system since then.  Be patient, watch for the blessed Windows, and I applaud you, still trying to get med free one day.  Focus on the wellness that awaits. 😇

If you are certain on that all the itchies are just dry skin, do your best to find solutions to that.  Lotions that you tolerate/hospital grade-  Lubriderm, Cetaphil(they also make a body wash), Aveeno are some that come to mind.  Go fragrance free, and as pure of ingrediants as you can.  Hospitals don't use all of those.  Coconut oil is amazing for dry skin.  Oatmeal baths- google them.  Etc.

 

Late 2023- gone to emeritus status, inactive, don't @ me, I can check who I've posted on, and I'm not really here like I used to be......thanks.

12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs.  My last psycho med ever!  Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to

you off the mirtazapine now?

Yes

You’re right about being sensitive. I’m very sensitive now to any medication or food. I think sometimes that’s why I have an allergic reaction. I’m going to stay at 75 mg a day for a bit until my poor body can settle. When the time comes I may ask you again how to cross over from the liquid to a solid so that it’s not an abrupt change. I understand the amounts it’s just when you talk about going from a pill to liquid form and only one pill at a time. No I am not on the liquid yet still taking pills.Thank you so much for your time and for helping me. All the best. ❤️

As I think that ordinarily, we'd go with the pregabalin being possibly more of a "brake", and then the sertraline, as an "accelerator", and would usually have you get off the sertraline first, and then the pregabalin.

Should I taper the sertraline first then. I’m just afraid how may depression will be.

I read the topic on taking multiple medication i.e. anti-depressants and anticonvulsants. I understand now why you were asking me the questions you were and I’m not so anxious to come off of  PreGabalin now. I think maybe I’ll just sit and stabilize for a bit as I have been taking a lot of different meds and stopping them. Can’t be too good for my system. Thank you for your advice and help.

Hi Pens,

And it's looking like you are still pretty miserable overall, I think.  I'm not seeing any activities or anything to your days in your notes.

Are you getting out much, or functioning in your daily work at all?  Are you able to get to some housework, and outside for essentials, and perhaps walking or other?  Doing okay with your dear husband, and any other social right now, outside of doctors appointments, and while we all are still in pandemic precautions, and all.  Man, I hope so.......this month marks a year of it all, in my area. 

 

And so, I think you've discovered that you aren't going to tolerate any real rapid tapers with the pregabalin now.

Although you have managed to go, I think from an initial dose of 150 mg/day to your present 75 mg per day. 

Which is great Pens!  I mean it really is.

 

I'm not sure that beginning to taper sertraline right now, would be best.  I mean, if it were me, I might, give your more recent tapers from the pregabalin, a bit more time to settle, before embarking on the sertraline taper.  And what you might try then, as you have not gone to all liquid yet with the pregablin, would be to do it by dose, while not tapering at all.

You'd be doing it by 3rds that way.

Change one dose to liquid, and hold for 3-7 days, or longer, if needed.

And then on to the second dose, and hold.......

And then on to the third, and hold..........

And then just stay put on the 75 mg/day.......but you'll have it all in liquid, and ready to go, for when you taper pregabalin again.

 

Taking multiple psych drugs? Which drug to taper first?

 

Tips for tapering Zoloft(sertraline)

 

And then, sure........I mean I don't really know which drug might be harder on your allergies right now.  But it does look like you still are having so many allergic type skin reactions.  And then you are sensitive in other ways as well.  The trembling, cold, burning, and stomach symptoms  could be WD.  I mean certainly if they have arisen during the pregabalin tapering.

And again I would not expect instant relief from any of them, when and if you do begin tapering sertraline.

 

I think yes, you could commence with a sertraline taper next.  Might be best though, to wait a couple months to begin that.  I'm thinking 3 months optimally.  Maybe......on 2 months.  From your last taper of pregabalin.

 

Trust me Pens, that 50 mg of sertraline is not magically fixing some chemically based depression that you have.  I mean yes, you have altered the chemicals in your brain and body, and their receptors, for 10 or 12 years now, and that alone is not an easy task to recover from.  And then you had lot's of different drugs too now.  It's going to take time.  But it can help if you begin to believe that you can manage lows in a new and different way, outside of drugs or medications. 

What do you do now, when you feel low and unmotivated, and like you couldn't care less?  Do you have a particular faith?  Do you pray or meditate?  Mildly exercise or get moving?  Write, paint, craft- knit, crochet, sew, other?  Play an instrument or enjoy music?  Talk with like minded others?  A therapist?  CBT or DBT?

So many paths to freedom from "depression".

 

And looks like I need to go to a second reply, I want to leave you with some basics for review:

 

Late 2023- gone to emeritus status, inactive, don't @ me, I can check who I've posted on, and I'm not really here like I used to be......thanks.

Started with psycho meds/psychiatric care circa 1988.  In retrospect, and on contemplation, situational overwhelm.

Rounding up to 30 years of medications(30 medication trials, poly-pharmacy maximum was 3 at one time).

5/28/2015-off Adderal salts 2.5mg. (I had been on that since hospital 10/2014)

12/2015---just holding, holding, holding, with trileptal/oxcarb at 75 mg. 1/2 tab at hs.  My last psycho med ever!  Tapered @ 10% every 4 weeks, sometimes 2 weeks to

2016 Dec 16 medication free!!

Longer signature post here, with current supplements.

Herb and alcohol free since 5/15/2016.  And.....I quit smoking 11/2021. Lapsed.  Redo of quit smoking 9/28/2022.  Can you say Hallelujah?(took me long enough)💜

Again, chemical imbalance is a myth. Stop the lies please.

 
 
 
 
Any windows of note Pens?  And your sleep?  You holding steady with 4-6 hours still?
And maybe, realistically, just working towards minimal dosages with your current medications......and then upping in the meantime any and all alternative coping that you can come up with.......outside of additional supplements, or ingestible additives.  I mean things like Spirituality, or meditation/prayer, or even self help in the form of CBT, DBT, or a therapist if you want to go that direction.  It can take time to find a good therapist guide......or it did for me, and for many......but I'm glad I've got one that knows me well, listens without diagnosing, or even having rights to a prescription pad,  and can support and encourage, as well as give me tools to cope sometimes.  I will never stop collecting coping tools.  LOL.  B)😇💜

you getting out much, or functioning in your daily work at all?  Are you able to get to some housework, and outside for essentials, and perhaps walking or other?  Doing okay with your dear husband

Good morning, yes I try and get out for a walk every day it is in a very long walk but I try to get it when you’re some sunshine. Once a week for groceries and I can do the basic household cleaning. I’m retired so I don’t have to go to work but I don’t think I’d be able to anyway. I like to read books and I do knit. It’s great support for me and I

I’m still getting 4-6 hours sleep. I think the pre-Gabalin is helping with that. Not too many windows but the last couple days I have been feeling a bit better. I think that’s good advice for me to hold for a bit I’ve been pretty brutal to my body. And I’m sensitive to a lot of things light, sound food etc. Between COVID-19 and trying to Be free of these drugs, I’m learning what is important in life. In my case, God, my family, and my health.  Thank you ever so much for taking time out of your busy schedule to help me. I pray you and your family will be safe. And I will sit tight for a while thanks again
