Lucid Dreams Associated with Pregabalin: Implications for Clinical Practice.

A case report describes a patient who experienced lucid dreams after taking pregabalin, a medication used for neuropathic pain and anxiety. The report suggests that pregabalin may induce lucid dreaming, which could have implications for clinical practice, particularly regarding patient counseling and monitoring. The authors propose that this effect might be related to pregabalin's modulation of calcium channels and its impact on sleep architecture. The finding indicates that clinicians should be aware of this potential side effect when prescribing pregabalin.
