Pregabalin in pregnancy

[Liberty82]

Hi, I'm just wondering has anyone been on pregabalin during their pregnancy? I'm 5 weeks pregnant and I'm on 300mg of pregabalin daily for periphal neuropathy. I've started tapering down as I've been advised not to suddenly stop but it'll take me a few weeks to get off it this way and every time I have to take my meds I feel so worried and guilty. Thanks for any advice x
