Due to decreased renal function, a reduction in pregabalin dose may be required in elderly patients (see section 5.2). During marketing, the most frequently reported adverse effects in the event of overdose with pregabalin were: drowsiness, confusional state, agitation and nervousness. Seizures have also been reported.
