Pregabalin reduction

[solarscope]

I have been on 600mg of pregabalin for anxiety for couple of years. I take the whole lot in the evening. Now it is time to reduce. Gp wrote a plan where I take 200mg mornings and evenings for a week and after that 100mg.

If I have forgotten to take the dose I got horrible hangover. I am wondering if this plan is too rapid.

Possibly. When I came down (briefly - I am back up to 600 again now for nerve pain) my neurologist told me to reduce by 50mg per week as a minimum, or every 2 weeks if I was struggling to tolerate that. I was fine reducing weekly though and I feel horrendous if I miss a dose.

My plan was: Week 1 - 300mg am/250mg pm, Week 2 - 250 mg am/250mg pm, Week 3 - 250mg am/200mg pm etc.

I took last night 200mg instead of 600mg. I woke feeling little bit bad but after taking the morning dose, 200 mg, I felt ok.
