I do know, if you go off Topamax cold turkey, you could have a seizure, so I don't think you should go off Lyrica cold turkey either. Just because you didnt have any withdrawals symptoms before, does not mean you will not this time. Things change, and it's a different drug maybe than the first one.
When I went off Topamax, I had to decrease the dosage 25 mg a week until I was down to 25 mg, then I stopped.

We urge all doctors to take time to listen to your patients.. don't "isolate" symptoms but look at the whole spectrum. If a patient tells you s/he feels as if s/he's falling apart and "nothing seems to be working properly", chances are s/he's right!
