If I gradually reduce my daily dose of Maxgalin (pregabalin) from 300 mg to 150 mg, then to 75 mg, and finally stop taking it while continuing Pexep 25 mg, could this trigger electric shock sensations in my head, commonly known as brain zaps?
Yes, it is possible to experience these electric shock sensations, often called "brain zaps," while tapering pregabalin (Maxgalin), even though you are continuing paroxetine (Pexep). Brain zaps are a known, temporary withdrawal symptom when reducing pregabalin. While your gradual reduction plan is a great step, dropping from 300 mg to 150 mg can still be a bit rapid for your nervous system. To make this transition much more comfortable and minimize these sensations, please consult your doctor. They can help you design an even gentler, slower tapering schedule. You are doing wonderfully, and this discomfort is only temporary.
