How to safely stop taking pregabalin for chemo-induced neuropathy?

This is such an important question about medication management during cancer survivorship. Stopping pregabalin after taking it for an extended period typically requires a gradual tapering schedule to avoid withdrawal symptoms, but this should always be done under medical supervision. Consider discussing your concerns about long-term effects with your oncologist or the doctor who prescribed the medication - they can help create a safe plan that addresses both your worries and your neuropathy symptoms. Many survivors in this community have navigated similar medication decisions, so hopefully others will share their experiences with you.

Try. Acupuncture. I have for years. For my. Diabetic. Neuropathy. And I had. Non Follicular Lymphoma and. Prostatecancer. It's. Easy and inexpensive.

When you were taking the pregabellin, did you find it helped you any? I have a Dr that has been uping my dosage on it a few weeks. Keeps asking me if i am tolerating it ok. Actually I took it a few times but read something about there is really no significant conclusions that it actually helps anymore than a placebo. The only real difference between the 2 is the side effects from the pregabellin... I sure do not want to take something like that..just was curious, i saw you mentioned taking it so i thought i would ask. ❤️

When i came off Gabapentin, it took tapering for 3 months and doing it with someone who was also doing that. But be careful how you choose that person for safety sake. That is how I did it.

I lost feeling in my feet, and the numbness will go up to my knees. I took that for a yr and nothing got better.
