As much as possible, i will maintain a good distance from Lyrica.

Just spent a bad month of withdrawing from Lyrica, as on any drug keep close watch on side effects. I was looking for positive ones ,lost track of the negative ones ,so had to pay the piper for being stupid. Some people just cant tolerate some meds Joe
