Pregabalin

[Kingsley09]

Since I’ve taken pregabalin for nerve pain all my body has started aching so I am going to wean myself off but am wondering has anyone else experienced this at the moment the aching isn’t reducing even though I’ve started lowering dosage would like to just stop cold turkey but am told you must reduce gradually would appreciate any advice on this thanks

Hi just wanted say when you stop a medicine please listen to your doctor when they say do not stop cold turkey I started to do that once I didn’t get too far. It was just like missing one dose then. For some reason I had this feeling I should ask my doctor, so I call his office and I got him. He said remember how you started that medicine that is how you get off of it. So I did it and I didn’t have any bad reactions. It takes a few days but it’s better than getting sick from the medicine.

I would call your doctors office if you haven’t already.

Good luck with it.

Do not stop cold turkey!!!! Go off slowly!!!! I weaned off 1800mg slowly with very little problem. I had gained 45 pounds on it! Lost the weight! trishj46
