Has anyone has terrifying side effects when coming off pregabalin. I couldn't do anything, I felt I couldn't function as a human being, couldn't stand being cold or hot, was continually sweating. The only slightly better time few hours when the anxiety had marginally gone was at night when I could lie in the dark after taking some Valium. But then I dreaded waking up. I am petrified of the day they might take it off the market as I knew when it happened I would never leave the house again, now I know it was so terrifying I wouldn't be able to go on.

Hello izzy20. I was on gabapantin and I tried Pregabalin but for me I was put on them for other type nerve pain but they gave me pain in places I didn't normally have pain! Joint pain etc so I stopped them after a few weeks, I presume you have been on them awhile? Any tablets should be reduced gradually before stopping any type of medication! Maybe you should go and see the doctor who put you on them and tell them how your feeling,! Hugs Aisha x
