Lyrica should not be discontinued abruptly. Your pharmacy should have offered to advance him some capsules, until they could get the refill authorized, and then deduct them from the subsequent filling.
Next time be forceful and demand this. And also try to think ahead enough so that your doctor will be available for refills, etc.
You should make sure your doctor's office understands this aspect of Lyrica.
Stopping high dose Lyrica suddenly can also cause seizures.
