    pregabalin and lorazepam

    hi guys,l am on two different pills at the moment.i am on 2x25mg of pregabalin and 2x1mg of lorazepam.i am slowly reducing the lorazepam by 1mg every 5 days.i did have a reaction a few days a go so i had to go back up to 2 a day.i see my own gp on tuesday so i might have to cut out another 1 then.when i was on the lorazepam for 3weeks everything was fine until i had a sleep apnea episode and then they stopped working.back came the panic attacks.i will be glad when they find the RIGHT pill.x
