Hello...
I didn't say that gabapentin causes a withdrawal syndrome comparable to that associated with the benzodiazepines. To be fair, withdrawal from gabapentin seems to have been very poorly studied, making it impossible to make any comparisons. As was reported, anxiety, palpitations and diaphoresis are some of the symptoms that have occured after gabapentin withdrawal. Similar symptoms are commonly seen after the withdrawal of benzos. I strongly believe that it's much too early to say that pregabalin is not associated with a withdrawal syndrome. The information that you provided may provide some reassurance but more evidence is still needed. After all, look what's become of all those other anxiolytics which were alleged to be easy to come off!!
All the best...
Ed
