Pregabalin - effects and discontinuation

Pregabalin is often used for nerve pain, anxiety disorders, or epilepsy. It has a calming effect on the nervous system and can help relieve pain and reduce restlessness. At the same time, some people report side effects like tiredness, dizziness, or weight gain.

You need to be careful when stopping pregabalin. If you reduce the medication too quickly, you might get issues like trouble sleeping, restlessness, anxiety, or flu-like symptoms. That's why you should always taper off gradually and, ideally, with medical supervision.
