A member asked:

I have been on for alprazolam for 2 yrs .can i replace it with pregabalin? since it is not much addictive as benzos?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

Yes. Possible: As you have been taking Alprazolam for a while you may want to taper this under guidance. Pregabalin might work well. Could potentially take both together.
