Pregabalin Withdrawl

[JD23]

Hi guys, ive been taking pregabalin for a month and it has not been very effective. It has also caused a few side effects so i want to come off it. Does anyone know if i can just come straight off it as ive only been on it a month or do i still have to taper? Thanks

i think you need to speak to your doctor JD, you can phone your surgery and ask to speak to the doctor i am sure

hi JD ive been taking the pregabalin for a month now and apart from a little bit of dry mouth i now know that the pill has just started to work for me.im feeling quite happy apart from the pain in my feet which is due to my rheumatoid arthritis.im hoping by about june/july time i can start to reduce them.im taking 50mg which seems a low dose compared to some of the guys on here.what dose are you taking?.as for coming off them i think it would be better if you spoke to your gp.

Definitely speak to your doc. Pregabalin can cause withdrawal effects but after only a month you might be ok. Don't just suddenly stop taking it though.

As others say, your GP will be the best place for such advice.

I'm not aware of any major withdrawal effects of the drug, and as for tapering it may depend on the dosage you're on at the moment.
