Hi justdeb,

I might be wrong but I seem to recall that Lyrica should not be stopped suddenly, it's something that one should tapered off. Perhaps that is why you had such a horrible pain flair?

I couldn't tolerate Lyrica at all because of the side effects so I was only on it for a short time.

Yes I do go with out medications because of side effects.

Sometimes I will wait until I have all my daily stuff done before I will take my stronger meds. I definitely won't drive if I have to take oxycodone.

I'm returning to my TENS machine to try to keep the pain gate closed.
