So I told my pscy that after 2 weeks, 150mg a day of Pregabalin is doing nothing to me and making no changes so he told me to stop taking them.

I have been on them for less than 2 weeks. Am I right in thinking that just stopping, won't cause be any issues due to the short time I've been on them and the low dose?

Or am I likely to experience some sort of difference here?

Not too sure as you have only been taking it for a short while. When I tried to stop I was itching 24/7. But you are on a low dose so your doctor may be right. Try it for a couple of days and if you have withdrawal of any kind, reduce your dose and taper off slowly.

I second what bobbydog says, you shouldn't have any adverse side effects.

Thankyou everyone. I dont feel that Pregabalin has done a single thing for me apart from add more side effects. I hope I'm right!!
Now to wait for the citalopram to work!

Well I took my last dose at 10am this morning and now I can't sleep and feel hot. Or am I overthinking this??
