Exclamation Neuropathy

I am new here, I had Breast cancer 5 years ago with 6 chemo treatments and I was already diabetic. So for years I have put up with the stabbing and burning pain in feet and in my hands dome. But it has gotten to the point with my feet and legs I couldn'd stand it. I went to a neuroligist, in one visit he diagnosed me with one of the worse cases he'd seen. Put me on 225mgs of lyrica 3 times a day. I have had panic attack, suicidal thoughts and have no idea how to get o of this. I am scared. People that I have known forever think I have a drug or drinking problem, I don't even drink or do drugs. When my MD found i was taking 225mgs 3 times a day he looked it up and found out that was more than the max dose per day which is 200 mgs 3times per day. I have had to go to the hospital because of the panic attacks. I feel like I can'get off of lyrica. I've tryed. It is addicting. Can someone help me.
