I am currently having some anxiety issues after stopping Pregabalin. I was only taking 50mg once a day ( all I could handle). I stopped it because it seemed to be causing anxiety, dizziness, and irritability, and I just felt like crap. It did, however, help my nerve pain. I didn't want to try to get 25mg ordered just so I could wean off the med and since I only took it for 2 weeks I thought it would be okay to stop cold turkey. Guess I was mistaken. I am still having some anxiety after 7 days and praying it will go away soon. I have an appt with my PCP tomorrow to discuss options.
It's nice to read that others have experienced this and survived. lol
