You are lucky since you don't want to reduce either pregabalin or gabapentin by so much or you will get withdrawal symptoms. But it is great that that seemed to help. 900 mg gabapentin would be equal to the 150 mg of pregabalin. Good luck.
Normally you should reduce pregabalin much more slowly. By 25mg every 3 or 4 days to avoid withdrawal symptoms of anxiety, depression and restlessness.However, if the pain has already reduced it would seem pregabalin may well be the culprit.
I hope it goes well and that gabapentin helps the RLS without causing pain.
it is muscle pain really bad all over , 2 nights now cut pregabalin dose in half and what a difference feel better going to see consultant on 23 see if I can go back on Gabapentin and check for Parkinsons .
