Pregabalin withdrawals after how long?

Here. Now.
Hi guys, I have been taking pregabalin daily for about 2 months in the 450-900 mg, tramadol at 400 mg for a few weeks longer than the pregabalin. If I discontinue the pregabalin after this time period am I likely to experience any dangerous wd's associated with gabaergics? It's OTC here in Mexico so running out isn't an issue unless I run out of money.
 
I know someone is familiar with the effects and discontinuation of lyrica. It's urgent, I don't wanna have a seizure in rural Mexico, I could easily die here w/o medical treatment close by.

I discontinued gabapentin cold turkey after only ~5 weeks and suffered nerve damage. I now, even 2 years later, still suffer nerve pain, despite reinstating gabapentin to my old dose. I also suffered visual field loss and other vision problems that bare with me to this day. DO NOT DISCONTINUE THIS MEDICINE COLD TURKEY. I can not stress this enough. I was probably severely unlucky but please don't let this happen to you too.

I do not know what happened, but I blacked out and woke up with this problem after only suffering withdrawals for a week or so. It never disappeared after that.
 
Thank you, Toz...sincerely. I don't know why I can't get replies. This is serious shit, not like the posts like "I took 1 mg of nbome, can I haz more?"

I'm saying the damage isn't yet done, I get frustrated by lack of intelligent replies. Should've posted this in OD or ADD.

I can always get more pregabalina as it is referred to here, but at the time I'm in a real fuckin' rural area of Mexico and there is little to no medical assistance available. I would just have a grand mal seizure and die. Thanks again man, and if anyone here has any more advice besides not to get into a serious gabaergic drug habit, I would appreciate it.
