I have taken pregabalin 75 mg (gabamax) once daily for a month during November. I have taken for pain at my liver biopsy site which I have gone through (liver biopsy results are negative and no problem for liver. At the end of the november month I stopped it suddenly (cold turkey). From then I am having severe withdrawal symptoms. I am having mild chest pain and after it disappeared. From then I am having nerve pain around neck. Neck pain stays for two days and disappears and then comes back. My anxiety levels also increased. It's been five months of suffering from these. I am just waiting for the withdrawal effects to go away. But this is not happening. Please help me. I don't know what to do. Please suggest me what to do.

Pregabalin is a drug that acts on your central nervous system ,ie. Your brain to help you get relief from pain. I hope you had doctor's prescription before you had thake the medication because it is not supposed to be given otc without consultation. However, now since you have taken pregabalim for your pain, your body is used to it and getting the withdrawal symptoms. For this you will have to take proper consultation to get the de addiction done. Kindly consult a specialist, md medicine or md psychiatry take care.
