I am also new here and I am on a pretty high dose of Lyrica. It is the only thing that really helps my nerve pain (from damage nerve in Lubosacral plexus) that goes down my right leg. I am considering a spinal cord stimulator (i believe the same as ANS-dif brand). SO the lyrica- 200mg 3x/day) is really good, but like you, i would love to get off the meds. I never really had any problems with the lyrica, as far as side effects go. Hope this helps.
