When I wasn't taking the Lyrica, I had horrible withdrawal symptoms, I had panic attacks all the time, I shouted at my mom, was sick, couldn't stop crying, couldn't breathe properly, was even more depressed than I normally am etc etc.
I have started taking the Lyrica again and I am fine now.
As anyone else experienced the same symptoms whilst coming off Lyrica??
Thanks for listening

Hi Alison,
I too am coming off Lyrica, (300MG per day) and yes I am crying all the time, irritable, sad, very depressed and generally just miserable. So you are not alone! Let us be strong and we will get through this. My Dr. has switched my medication to something called Savella....which I hope has a better outcome for myself and my pain and depression.
Good luck to you!
