How are you working it? Clearly, it might be done differently if one or the other might be an adjunctive epilepsy medication. But in terms of turning off chronic neurontin in favor of the apparently more favorable (in my experience thus far) pregabalin, I'm seeing some neurologists replace a gabapentin dose for a pregabalin, or do more traditional cross tapers. It becomes slightly more complicated when people are on these old, mountain doses of neurontin and you're considering the rare but possible withdrawal seizure. Then, I began to pharmacologically overthink it....in any event:
i.e.
Current meds:
Lexapro 30mg PO QD
Neurontin 800mg PO QID
Seroquel 200mg PO BID
How would you procede?
