I realized that, by accident, I only took gabapentin a few days ago. The next day, I had that lyrica-withdrawal zombie feeling all day, plus IBS, a few other symptoms. I stuck with just the Gabapentin, though, and the next day the zombie feeling was mostly gone. I've continued just on the Gabapentin and my symptoms are less and less.

I know the two drugs are chemically similar, but... would one completely take the place of the other? Today, I will go down on the gabapentin and see what happens. If I can, I'll not take any more lyrica and just taper off on gabapentin. My use of gabapentin has been sporadic and when i've taken it in the past and stopped, I didn't experience withdrawals.

Fingers crossed.
