Hope you are surviving the Lyrica withdrawal hell! Only way to safely do it is like benzodiazepine withdrawal as per Ashton Manual. Go slow ie 10% dose reduction every 2 weeks or so. Caps are now made 25mg strength. I decreased 25mg every 2 weeks. It was hell and I definitely couldn't of held anything together during this time. Many people open up the capsules and take a little out at a time. Some even get the compounding pharmacist to help gradually lower dose. I have even heard of Lyrica liquid in some countries. So just go slowly and you will make it off ok. The withdrawal is punishing. Lyricasurvivors on FaceBook are a great source of info too.
