Brief Answer:
both can be taken to gether.
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
Its unfotunate that you have landed up with the withdrawal from pregabaline. However even if you were to start on ibuprofen there is no need to withdraw from pregabaline. Both can be taken together. I have plenty of my patients who are on NSAIDs and pregabaline and I alter their dose of NSAID as required.
If you still want to get of pregabaline then the withdrawal symptoms generally last for 2-3weeks after which symptoms will settle down.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
If you have any further query, I would be glad to help you.
If not, you may close the discussion and if possible you may rate the answer for me, so that I get a good feedback.
