Hope you get to feeling better and the withdraws go away. I have tried several times to get off lyrica with no success.

hi vneck...I am off now 3 wks but was only on 125mg per day. I was nauseas but more loss of appetite, had no interest in eating at all which was a good thing because I am over weight. I was very short tempered and jittery but most has worn off. I also had wicked sweats just walking, had to change clothes several times a day. Lyrica is excellent to help neuropathy and was a Godsend to me at the time...I am not knocking it by any means...just harder to get off of than I expected although my doc did warn me to do a very slow wean because I am prone to seizures.
Nothing wrong with staying on the 300 mgs if you need it. Are you having the sweating at that dose or just when lowering the dose? Diandra
