I was just told to stop taking Lyrica because I could not get a good breath anymore. I'd built up to 150 mgs a day and my fibromyalgia pain had lessened considerably but since the other day I've been experiencing air hunger. I just can not get a good breath until trying for 5 minutes or more and then it starts all over again. I stopped taking it night before last. I've had painful abdominal cramping and diarrhea, nausea, sweating, the pain is coming back, I've been just twitching in my legs like crazy and could not sleep last night....nor have I slept yet today. I already have pulmonary fibrosis on top of asthma. The Lyrica was working until I started having a hard time breathing. I will see my rheumatologist next week but in the meanwhile...I'm in a bad way...including anxiety. I wish I'd never started on in now. How long to these withdrawal symptoms generally last for? Thank you. -Rhonda
