A member asked:
Is lyrica (pregabalin) addicting? doctor wants me on lowest dose but i tend to get addicted easily, so should i take it or not for small fiber neuropathy?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Lyrica (pregabalin) is not, but: quitting Lyrica (pregabalin) abruptly can result in withdrawal symptoms including insomnia, headache, nausea, diarrhea. Ask your prescribing physician how to taper down Lyrica (pregabalin) and minimize withdrawal effects.
