Help with tapering off Lyrica
Hi,
So I'm all new here - after reading this and the other thread decided to post.
I got put on Lyrica after being diagnosed with pudendal neuralgia. Not long after going on I started getting suicidal - then not knowing it is the Lyrica - but rather thinking it is the pain. Either way, after a year long battle (with only a few months of relief in between) of being suicidal, I finally figured out its the Lyrica.
I was on 300mg (150/150), I asked the dr to reduce - he reduced morning dose to 75mg. This was in March. My mood nose dived even more, not realizing it is withdrawel.
I am now doing ear acupuncture, which is well known for its detox benefits, in conjunction with a slow(ish) taper. From 150mg to 75mg in about 8 weeks. But yes, the drop, oh the drop. Once you drop, so does your mood and you start crying. Considering dropping even less per drop.
But enough of that - what are the solid tips & tricks to getting "over" Lyrica? I read somewhere of enemas. Could this help in the detox?
