I take 325 mgs Lyrica, I tolerate it ok but I still have so much pain. I get mostly tingling, buzzing, tightening, lancing pain in my arms, legs and feet. Some-days my skin burns all over including my face and lips. This is a horrible , miserable disease to have. The lyrica does not help as much as it should. How much were you taking and and how long did it take you too withdraw? Withdrawal scares me so much. What kindof Neuropathy do you have and what else do you take for your pain? Do you have the same symptoms I have. Sorry for all the questions. Thanks

A few years ago I began to have sharp pains, maybe what you call 'lancing', in my hands and sometimes feet, and was getting worse. I have found that eating a whole foods plant based diet, exercising, and managing my stress, had made them go away. Unfortunately my aching-type pains have not gone away. I generally avoid processed foods, but some snacks are a weakness for me. This type of diet, avoiding animal products and eating plenty of vegetables & fruits, does so many wonderful things in our bodies. Several doctors have shown in scientific studies, published in peer-reviewed medical journals, that this type of lifestyle reverses disease. I would like to give this information to every new member that posts here, but that seems silly. Give it a try. When you go grocery shopping, spend 90% of your time on the produce aisle.
