Hi SteadyComet, welcome to the TC! Considering the symptoms you're getting, it absolutely isn't appropriate. A 10% cut every few weeks depending on symptoms is the best bet. This article will provide a lot of valuable info, best wishes and stay strong! 🙏 https://taper.community/resources/blog/pregabalin-lyrica-taper
