3 days with no Pramiperoxle, what now?

Could someone advise me how long it takes to withdraw from Pramiperoxile fully and finally. The last 3 days of no Pramiperoxle have been better/easier that I thought it would be but still get periods of being extremely uncomfortable with RLS symptoms. I am taking Cannabis oil two drops twice a day, two to three puffs of cannabis daily or twice daily, and a quarter tablet of Diazepam 5mg which does dampen the symptoms down. I am also prescribed Pregabalin 150mg x once daily. I just don't know what to expect, like does the RLS remain active post ceasing the DA? If so, is this the end of this terrible disorder or will I experience residual symptoms after fully detoxing.

Depends on the dose you were on and for how long. If low dose for a few months, then I wouldn't expect much withdrawals.

All the other stuff you are taking will also help mask them.

The Pregabalin should help moderate any RLS symptoms.

Stay cool.🤩

Thank you, your information is helpful.

If you were taking the pregabalin at least 3 weeks before stopping the DA altogether then it should be working as much as it's going to.

It's usually said that withdrawal effects take 10-14 days to fade.

However, it could be longer.

It's also possible that 150mg pregabalin isn't enough.

It sounds as if you're doing well. I'd say if things haven't improved further in 3 weeks, then ask for an increase in pregabalin.
