Cannot stop suddenly: You will have to consult with your neurologist. Stopping it suddenly could cause seizures or other problems

Am perplexed: Did you have a radial palsy? If so, was it painful or irritating? The Lyrica (pregabalin) does not cure anything, but helps control neurological symptoms. If you have recovered, you can slowly taper off over 6-8 weeks. Do not stop suddenly as there could be risk of withdrawal seizure. Talk to your doctor, and devise a plan.
