Neuropathic Pain
"Initial euphoric effects wore off so dosage was increased. Was told would treat nerve pain and  later told good for anxiety. My anxiety got worse on med as when it was due or late I was ill, it has addictive qualities I do not like.  My health took a nose dive on this and I had to come off due to blurred vision, weight gain, blocked bowel.  My Doctor advised decreasing of 75mg a week.  My first drop was hell completely threw me into panic as I felt so ill, no one explained withdrawal when I saw medics in a state no one comforted me saying it could be the reduction too high/quick for me, after all in hindsight if I felt unwell late taking one dose then dropping 75mg wouldn&#039;t be helpful quickly, lower doses not easy to get as more costly to NHS etc"
