Pregaballin withdrawals
I am already on opiprol 100 mg .25 clonotril and 1 mg Loranza at bed time for anxiety and insomnia which arose in 2023 due to pregabalin withdrawal.
However I had recovered completely and was on the verge of completely tapering my medicines. One day I took sysron n for my Pmos only for one day and the next day onwards I started facing regular tension type headaches again. I was compelled and put on pregabalin 50 for 10 days. My headaches stopped but I had to stop the medicine because of over sedation. Gradually after pregabalin discontinuation I started facing delayed sleep, hyperarousal & severe leg movement during night time. Currently I am only on n opiprol 50 mg .25 clonotril and 1 mg Loranza. But immediately after I take these medicines at night I become more energetic and more active instead of calming down and my leg movement becomes worse. Why is it so????? And I also feel like the medication is pushing away my sleep further more till morning. What should be done.

So what you are describing might be restless leg syndrome (more history needed). It sometimes worsens in the presence of opipramol which you are taking. For tension type headache a simple ssri can also work better if you were already prone to have pregabalin addiction. Also clonotril and lorazepam both are being given. Overall what I think right now is your anxiety needs to be treated properly and not just supress by benzodiazepines (clonotril and lorazepam). Also RLS needs to be ruled out and if it's present them it needs to properly treated. Treatment optimization is needed for overall improvement including sleep, anxiety, leg movement, and tension type headache.
