Pregabalin

[Nanna]

I take lyrica 75 mg on every 3rd day. Is there anybody who could suggest me how to taper this stuff to get it off completely?

hi I would speak to your doctor before stopping any meds you might not be ready yet

Pregabalin is available in a liquid form, which you could use to taper off in smaller increments. You could ask your doctor if this is a good way for you to reduce your dose. Good luck!

I read that the was no discontinuation sydrome associated with pregabalin, so I just dropoed from 600mg to zero in 4 days, with no ill effects, but I was going straight onto another AD, plus I was taking mirtazapine too, which might have protected me.

Different GPs seem to have different ideas on tapering. Personally I tend to go the same route as you, rather than taper daily I'd just take the usual dose every 2 days, then every 3 days till you feel ready to go it alone. If withdrawal symptoms hit you at least you can take a capsule then try a different strategy.

All the best and welcome to the forum.
