I took Lyrica & Gabapentin for 16 years. I tolerated it ok & it worked somewhat for my nerve pain. I had a lot of neurological weirdness. All doctors thought it was from my brain tumour. I was feeling very well and decided to decrease down to the minimum dose I could live with. Well my whole world turned upside down. It took 2 years to work out what was going so wrong with me and then to safely withdraw. It was absolute hell. I have been Lyrica free since Aug2015. My nervous system is still recovering from the ordeal. It was so bad I can't describe it without writing a book. Am now living drug free & putting up with the nerve pain. Anything that toxic to withdraw from has got to be so bad for your long term health!!!
