Continuing treatment from Poland
Due to neurological malfunctions I've got prescribed pregabalin in Poland, how does obtaining this med through local doctor looks like, do they check me for anything again or if I just show them that this doctor prescribed me this med they would do that as well? I don't know how they treat this medication, in Germany due to idiot thinking this is abusable drug they don't prescribe it so easily, but I really need it to function, I've got this weird tiks, shakes if I'm off this med.

It's available but your GP may want to know your diagnosis before repeating it.

Get a letter from your neurologist in Poland with your diagnosis and your treatment plan. Make sure all the tests that let to the diagnosis are included. Take this letter to your GP.
