lindkaye,
I used to be on the methadone until I started getting some strange happenings. But while I was on it between the edema that I had from the RSD and the extra fluid from the methadone, my pd put me on Lyrica but I was only on it for a month as it gave me even more swelling. How long have you been on it and has your pd recomended that you go off of it? If your pd is taking you off of it he should tell you how to do it. If you are going off of it by yourself you will have to ask someone else that have been on it for a long period of time, and with all these good people here you should get some recomenations, mine would be ask your pd and tell them why you want to go off of it. Maybe not the answer that you wanted but things get complicated when you are on multiple meds.
Be Safe!
