I'm all focused on doing so and I'll start a blog to share my findings into detail. I'm a very positive person, but it scares me that im just so positive and happy and not worried because of a pill.
I thought that it was my character, but it seems to be all fake! Weird weird weird.
I'll share my findings cause right now i refuse to believe that my happiness is pill depending.

This is my first post here. I've been on Lyrica, 50g at night, for 3 years. I was put on it because of fibromyalgia and burning sensation under my skin. During the time in which I've been this drug, the classification was changed to "controlled substance" and I have to go to see my doctor each time I want a prescription renewed. On one occasion, I was without pills for a weekend and it was terrible.
Two weeks ago I decided to withdraw from Lyrica completely. My doctor changed my prescription to 25mg, which I took for a week. Now I am taking 25mg every other day. I have symptoms which are unpleasant, but, so far, manageable. I feel blue and have lost my appetite. I am hoping that it continues to dissipate as I further wean myself off this medication. I am totally turned off by the awful Lyrica commercials and by the physical dependency.
