Changing back

Hi everyone I asked a little while ago if anyone swapped painkillers from gabapentin to pregabalin as I just had unfortunately although mg pregabalin is equal to 800mg gabapentin my body definitely doesn’t agree so I was thinking of asking to change back again. Does anyone know please if this is correct I’m afraid I don’t trust my gp as they and the pain clinic just want all my pain medication dropped so fast I feel like I’m dyeing in agony every day. Once again they have dropped my mafrifen patches this time from 37.5 to 12 apparently I haven’t received the new ones yet. I don’t know when I will be at there so called safe levels by then I fear I will have given up the will to live again I know that sounds dramatic but I’m struggling so much with all this pain from my back and whole leg with sciatica and constant pain from accident back in 1994 and of course now Chrons and asthma and lupus . Sorry, so sorry
