The first time Jade had a panic attack, she called an ambulance. Terrified and feeling as though her world had suddenly tilted, she’d recently stopped taking pregabalin, a drug prescribed to her for anxiety. Two years later, she is still trying to wean herself off it. “If I miss a dose I have trouble breathing, depersonalisation, panic attacks, extreme body restlessness, feeling as though I am going to pass out,” the 29-year-old told Euronews Health. “I don’t think doctors realise the severity of it.” The drug has been prescribed to more than 8 million people in the UK, according to a study.
