Did anyone experience pain coming back or other symptoms after stopping Pregabalin/ lyrica ? I have been on it for 3 months post my surgery.
Yes, this is something some people report after stopping Pregabalin especially when it has been used after surgery for nerve related pain. It can sometimes feel like the original pain is coming back or shifting as the body adjusts and that can be really confusing and worrying.
Yes, some people do report pain or symptoms becoming more noticeable after stopping Pregabalin /Lyrica, especially if it was helping control nerve-related pain. It doesn’t always mean the surgery failed. sometimes the medication was masking residual nerve sensitivity, inflammation or the nervous system is readjusting after being on the drug for a few months.
Yes, I experienced some pain returning after stopping pregabalin (Lyrica) following my surgery. In my case, it was difficult to tell whether it was the medication wearing off or my nerves still healing, but the pain gradually settled over time. I also noticed a few temporary symptoms while tapering off. I found it helpful to reduce the dose gradually under my doctor's guidance rather than stopping it suddenly. If your pain is severe or continues to worsen, it's worth discussing it with your surgeon or pain specialist.
