However, the real problem we're discussing is doctors who refuse to acknowledge the very real suffering of patients breaking their dependency. TERRIBLE DRUG!!!!!

Hi Hockey and others , you make a good point . My Doc is proceeding at a breakneck pace to get me of Lyrica . down 100mg in 3weeks . Today all hell broke loose when my old neuropathic pain re appeared with a vengence over the left side of my face. It is in spasm numb and burning pain and is worse than before I took the stuff , now spreading into my neck and pulling my head over. My appearance shocked my wife as the facial contortions made her think I was having a stroke. I phoned the Doc who said the spasm was OK , keep on taking the pills and continue to reduce and take a diazepam.
All I can say is God help us as nobody else is.
Regards
Nick
