Short term Lyrica (Pregabalin) use - do I need to taper ?


[mt...]

Recommended Posts

I have a generic question regarding short term use of low(er) dose pregabalin: if only used for a short term such as 10 to 14 days, is there a need to still taper it or can it be stopped cold turkey? If there is a need to taper it after such a short time, what would you guys suggest as a general rule?

 

In my particular case I'm talking about 25 mg 2x/day, but I can say that after 5-6 days or so, there is some physical dependency that had established itself,because I feel some symptoms if there's too much gap between doses.

I found this thread in Support groups and since one of the posts mentions Gabapentin I figured I'd throw in the link for that group as well.  It might be a good idea to ask on the Gabapentin group, its a little more active.

But I hope someone will pop into this thread and answer your question.
