My Doc is in denial that there is any effects from Lyrica and so looks at me as some oddity. Does not do much for your confidence.

Yes Yes and more Yes. I have been off Lyrica about 50 days now and the pains are lessening but still randomly bad. Out of the blue I woke up the other morning with a new pain I had not had before. It was a stabbing pain in my right shoulder so bad that I was teary. It did subside over a 3 day period. One thing I find fascinating is that alcohol made it totally disappear for about half an hour. I had half a beer and the relief was amazing. Apparently alcohol also affects your GABBA in a similar way. At least I was sure that it was still the effects of withdrawal so I relaxed and just let my body cope in its own time by itself. Lyrica is shocking. It was good for my nerve pain but what it does to your body long term is just horrendous.
