Help please! Anyone know about Pregabalin?

Hi , I have been taking Pregabalin for 10 days now. I was started off on the 25 mg dose. Before I took these( recommended by pain consultant) I said I was really,really worried as I was very sensitive to drugs,and got side effects on very low dosage. He said he would not move up the dosage for a month( consultant said 5 days) and if I had problems I am in no way forced to take them.fair enough! I was still actually frightened to take the first one, I even cancelled appointments. The next day I could not believe it,not much difference in pain but wow what a difference in mood. I suffer from anxiety and I was very chilled.no side effects at all! Next day same again, I felt like I imagine most normal people feel. I was lovely to feel. Wanted to do things! Alas it wore off! I still felt better mentally,slight pain reduction( but is that because I could cope?) I would have settled for little pain relief at25gm as I felt so much brighter and able to cope. BUT last 2 days I woke with blocked ears,headache all day,much more achy,the desire to keep peeing all the time and generally feel pretty awful. I know I'm only on 25 gms ,but now I'm really concerned. Can I just stop taking these? Do I need to taper off after just 10 days? Should I stop at all? Fed up! And any advice would be great....thank you.
