You know when people complain about not being able to get their prescription, repeat or new, in microseconds? That's because there's systems in place, or should be, to minimise mistakes happening.

Doctor told me to slowly come off my steroids and slowly up the dose of pregabalina.

I did as instructed but feeling worse and worse all week. I assumed it was because of missing the steroids.

But doc prescribed me 25 mg.
The pharmacist gave me 100mg.

So I've been taking 4 times the dose. Even having difficulty writing this.

I'll be on the right dose tmrw

The pharmacist should be struck off. There are POM that could make you seriously ill at four times the prescribed dose. I hope you feel better soon
Took proper dose this morning and feel OK.
I've been off and on them for 18 months, so not sure when the mistake happened.
I was on small dose back then so no problems. Only recently was it upped and hit the dangerous level.

No long term harm done.
