Pregabalin Withdrawal issues
I saw my GP last week and he felt Pregabalin wasn't working for me, so he's taken me off it - I was taking 100mg twice a day. He cut that to half for a week and then half again. He's put me back on Amitriptyline 25mg at night, but over the last 3 days my anxiety has returned 3-fold. I'm seriously agitated (Ami never did this to me) cannot sleep, feel nauseous/retching, lost appetite and feel like I'm having a near continuous panic attack with crashing depression and horrible thoughts I went back yesterday and saw a different doc as mine was off told me to up the Ami to 50mg a night, but last night was horrendous - woke at 2am in a state of agitation, took 2mg diazepam but still could not sleep. Now off work as I feel awful and I won't get paid of course.
My question is could any of this be due to stopping Pregabalin too quickly? Should I go back and discuss it again?
