*- How bad do you think that the pain will be from this level of medication
Pain is such a personal thing from person to person. It really varies
*- what have been your experiences while getting off of this drug, were your dosages light or heavier
I was on 150mg 2x a day. I have cut back so far to 150mg in the morning and 75mg at night (75mg increments is all I have available to me) I have experienced headaches, mood swings and anxiety so far.
*- Why did you stop taking Lyrica???
I decided to stop taking Lyrica because I was having side effects like amnesia, muscle weakness in my left arm and leg, a painful burning sensation in my face and difficulty finding words when talking.
*- I'm currently on 100mg 3X a day, how is the taper off of it, at what dosage levels?
Again, the taper is going to be unique to each person and depends on how long you have been on the med, what you are taking it for and so on. If you would like to get off of Lyrica I recommend asking your doctor for help tapering off.
