Any side effects that you're aware of? If you have been on it long-term at a relatively stable dose and functioned well, your doc might decide to leave well enough alone.
Pregabalin is approved in some countries for anxiety disorders. It may also reduce benzodiazepine withdrawal symptoms when taken short-term and then tapered. Rapid taper of pregabalin can cause its own withdrawal syndrome... which may be rather 'benzo like' in nature!
