Re: Pregablin withdrawal
almamatters
I've just come off pregabalin in 3 days, but I wouldn't recommend it. GP OK'd it though, although TBH I'm the first person he ever prescribed it to for GAD.
There's not supposed to be a withdrawal sydrome AFAIK, so I'm not sure whether it's pregabalin withdrawal or duloxetine start up effects, but I've barely been out of bed since Wednesday morning - good job I booked leave.
SarahH - I agree with you, but I was 4 stone overweight before pregabalin, then put on 9lbs in 9 weeks, could shift it.
Lost 4lbs this week and I've only been off it 3 days, water retention of course.
Weight gain doesn't effect everyone, and even if it affects you, as you say it's a good trade off for feeling mentally better.
