NIH studies warn that this medication may cause these types of side effects, since Lyrica/Pregabalin is an anticonvulsant. Other side effects may include headache, nausea, and mood swings.

As to weaning yourself off, it usually best to do that very slowly, to prevent the risk of seizures, and rebound effects.

What dosage are you taking? Are you on any other medications?
