Hi SusieQ, Welcome.

That may depend on the dosage you were on, how long you were on it, how long it's been since you've been off of it, and other factors. Most likely, the withdrawal symptoms will reduce gradually over time rather than just stopping suddenly. Generally, the more effective pregabalin was in controlling pain, the more difficult withdrawal may be.
