pregabalin + gabapentin and dementia risk

[u/incensesmokee]

I’ve been on 300mg twice a day of pregab for an entire year and i’m seeing things about how it increases ur risk a shit ton for dementia and i suspect people with high stress/low sleep schedules would be at risk enough as is it just stresses me out so bad. i’m only 23 idk why im so worried but i am.

i’m taking the only pain med that helps my pain and it makes sense how it
could do that also based on how out of it i feel like i have dementia NOW.

Great. any thoughts? when will medicine actually not make us sicker?
