I am so glad I've found this site. I was prescribed Lyrica back in the beginning of August for Fibro, and some alarm bells should have started going off I guess when I started taking it. First I started with 25mg going to 50 twice a day. Problem was I was having side effects with every small dose, dizziness, little anxiety etc. I was going fine until I got a dental infection and needed IV antibiotics, and pain meds. I stopped taking the Lyrica due to all of the other meds I was taking. What a huge mistake. The withdrawal from the Lyrica has been horrible, severe dizziness, headaches and the anxiety has been unbearable, to the point I panic and feel like I am dying. I have just figured out reading this post that I am having withdrawal. Even yesterday the emergency Dr was baffled by my symptoms. Laying down I have really low blood pressure, bit just sitting up, my blood pressure sky rockets. I'm convinced it's withdrawal.

My question, has anyone else experience withdrawal on a low dose like this?
