Default Switching from gabapentin to lyrica

After taking gabapentin for 14 years my doctor and I have decided to switch to lyrica. I will admit I am a little concerned about side effects, withdrawal,etc.
Anyone who has done this I would be interested to know how this went for you.
How did you go about making the switch and at what dose did you start at. I have been able to keep my dose of gabapentin down to 1800 mg. a day. The doctor wants me to start the lyrica at 450 mg. a day, does this sound right or does it sound a little much to start with. Thanks for taking the time to read this.
