But both drugs do affect the body in ways that make it hard
to stop taking them. They ideally should be tapered down when stopped. There have been reports of some people having seizures when discontinued suddenly.
This is a form of physiological habituation, similar to the effects of SSRI SSNI antidepressants. They must also be tapered off.

Hello MrsD,
I have been on the two for 4-5 days now. I can not sleep. I'm wide awake. Slept 3 hours last nite. Don't feel tired just wired! They had me stop the flexeril at bedtime, which I'm sure might be part of it.
I'm on lyrica 75mg 2xs, and gabapentin 300mg 3xs. Have you ever heard of mixing the two? And what exactly do they do? Change my nerve cells? Or block nerve transmitters?
