Hello, for over a month I have been taking pregabaline 75mg for the evening, will there be very significant side effects if I stop it overnight?

Pregabalin should not be discontinued overnight. The dose should be gradually reduced, and the whole process - controlled by a doctor. The risks of abrupt withdrawal are as follows: "Some patients have experienced withdrawal symptoms after discontinuation of short- and long-term pregabalin therapy. The following events were reported: insomnia, headache, nausea, anxiety, diarrhoea, flu-like syndrome, nervousness, depression, pain, seizures, excessive sweating and dizziness suggesting physical dependence. Before starting treatment, the patient should be informed of the possibility of these conditions. Data suggest that the duration and severity of withdrawal symptoms may be dose-dependent."
