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.

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.

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.
