Pregabalin is basically the same drug as gabapentin except you don't need to divide the dosage but can take it all at one time 1 to 2 hours before bed. To avoid withdrawal effects I would suggest switching to the equivalent amount which is the gabapentin amount divided by 6. And then if your doctor wants you to take less you can reduce by 25 mg every 2 weeks.
