SEDATION: Sedation is the main side effect especially at that dose. Try to take at bedtime or discuss with your doctor trying to reduce the dose

May need dose adjust: Lyrica (pregabalin) is not a conventional drug for GAD. If sedation does not resolve in 6 to 8 weeks then the dose is too high or must be taken only at night time. It is more likely to sedate when combined with Diazepam .
