Thanks HubbyWithRSD,

Wow! 3 years! I would go off Lyrica between one week and three weeks, I guess. I knew it may still be in my system, somewhat, for at least 1 to 2 weeks, but at least mild enough that I would notice a difference with my sight, particularly when I'd stay off of it three weeks (maybe longer).

Also, I'd already been having vision problems before they started me on Lyrica. Usually I can go 3 - 5 years with the same glasses before my vision changes. But it had been only aabout 11 months after getting new glasses that I started having trouble. I still put off going for the eye exam for at least 6 mos, due to money limitations. And it was during those 6 mos that they started the Lyrica.

So, I don't know for sure if it was just normal eye weakening, or the RSD (which I believe affects my occipital nerves), or is the Lyrica. I do believe the Lyrica made it worse, no matter what precipated it!

I also can't think or talk straight on the Lyrica at higher doses. So, that scared me too.

But at least I could function better than when the pain is a 9 & 10 24/7!!!

I appreciate all the advice. Thanks again, guys!
