Decrease Medicine one by one. First you can decrease pregablin to once a day for 10 days and then stop it. After 2 weeks of that decrease escitalopram to 5 mg for 3 weeks and then stop it. As regards your calf pain , that can be due to rosuvastatin also. Take tab myotop P twice a day for 5 days. Decrease rosuvas to 5 mg. Usually TG will not decrease so drastically within 15 days, so repeat it.
