I’ve been on Pregabalin for about 3 months now, and my short-term memory is completely shot. I own a retail store, and I’m having a hard time remembering faces and names of customers that were in my store an hour prior to returning. It’s really scary. Further, my cognitive skills are horrible. I have constant brain fog, and I’ve began struggling with math. As a business owner, this is not ideal. I feel stupid!

I have tapered down to 50mg per day for the past week, and I have now been completely off the drug for the past 48 hours. Will my memory ever return? I’m terrified that I’ve permanently done damage to myself. If I would have known this, I would have put up with the nerve pain. This is far worse.
