Need advice

I've been taking Pregabalin 50 mg twice a day for anxiety and I tried to taper my evening dose (50 mg) on July 17. The withdrawal symptoms were so severe that I went back to taking the 50 mg twice a day on July 26. Unfortunately, I still have severe withdrawal symptoms (more anxiety, more depression, loss of appetite, fatigue, brain fog and memory loss). I don't want to get out of bed, no motivation and feeling panicked. I'm wondering why I'm still feeling these severe symptoms now that I'm back to the same dose that I was taking before tapering. I really want to get off this medication by slowly tapering at 10% but I'm too scared of the withdrawal side effects.
