Stopping a tablet
Dear doctor,
Few months back I suffered from Herpes. At that time doctor prescribed me PREGABALIN M 75. Now it's cured but I am not able to stop the medication because only few days back my father expired and I suffered from depression and anxiety. So doctor asked me to continue the tablet. Now I have gained more weight. Is it because of PREGABALIN M 75? if yes, kindly help me in this. I still feel anxious if I don't take the tablet. Please help me

You can stop pregabalin and replace it with some daily lifestyle modifications or placebos.
It's not your physical dependency it's your mental dependency more.
