Q. How long do I need to take Pregabalin?
Duration for the use of Pregabalin depends on the condition for which you are taking this medicine. If you are taking it for epilepsy, and it is effectively helping you then, you may have to continue it for years. If you are taking it for neuropathic or fibromyalgia pain, it is likely that once your symptoms improve you will have to continue taking it for several months. This will ensure that the problem does not come back. It is advised not to stop taking this medicine without consulting your doctor.
Q. Is it necessary to continue taking Pregabalin even if I feel fine?
Yes, you should not stop taking Pregabalin even if you feel fine. If you are taking it for epilepsy and stop its consumption suddenly, you may have seizures that will not stop. Stopping it suddenly may result in withdrawal symptoms and you may experience anxiety, difficulty in sleeping, feeling sick, pain and sweating. These can be prevented if the dose of Pregabalin is reduced gradually.
Q. Is Pregabalin addictive?
Addiction to Pregabalin is more common in people who take it for unauthorized reasons. Taking Pregabalin more than the recommended doses or taking it for long periods of time may also cause addiction. In addition to that, any person who has a history of drug abuse should never use Pregabalin. In case you feel you are becoming physically dependent on Pregabalin, inform your doctor immediately.
Q. Can I take Diazepam and Pregabalin together?
Yes, Pregabalin and Diazepam can be used together. But, there might be a chance of increased side effects since both these medicines act on the brain to depress excessive activity.
Q. Can the use of Pregabalin cause weight gain?
Yes, Pregabalin may cause weight gain because it increases your hunger. Regular physical exercise and a balanced diet with low-calorie food may help you keep your weight stable. Consult a dietician if you have any further concerns to keep your weight stable.

Consult your doctor if you do not feel better after 2 months.
Q. If I start feeling better, can I stop taking Duloxetine?
No, you should not stop Duloxetine suddenly and without consulting your doctor. In cases of depression and anxiety, if you have been feeling better for 6 months or more, your doctor may reduce your doses gradually. In case of pain and incontinence, if you are feeling better, continue taking it for long term. Your doctor will keep monitoring your response to the medicine every few months.
