The risks of prescribing pregabalin to patients already addicted to illicit drugs or alcohol almost always outweigh the benefits, therefore deprescribing pregabalin is usually appropriate. This article outlines safe and realistic protocols to reduce and stop pregabalin in patients with major addiction problems.
