I just want to say thank you so much for this thread! I am currently trying to get off of gabapentin and having terrible withdrawal symptoms (many of which are similar to those you've listed, such as terrible hot flashes/sweats). My doc had also prescribed Lyrica so I wondered if switching to it would help me with gabapentin withdrawal. Now I see it would be going from the 'frying pan into the fire'. Thank you so much for saving me from a bad decision!!

For those suffering from neuropathy/pain, I highly recommend you look into PEA (PeaPure), a supplement with NO side effects that really works!
