Default More side effects

Yesterday was a really busy day. I had to run several errands and wasn't at home at my regular meals. So somehow, between exhaustion (crutches) and pain, I forgot my noontime pills including the Lyrica and when I filled my pill box a couple of days ago, I failed to put my noon and nightime dose of Lyrica in the pill box. I was in big pain last night and only slept from 10pm-1am. And this morning when I tried to eat breakfast I felt really nauseated. Stomach was upset too. I had the 75 mg. with breakfast and at noon when I went to take the noon pills, I realized I was behind by about 300 mg yesterday. Duh..I think this was all the beginning of withdrawal from the Lyrica. I took my regular dose at noon and so far I am better.

So you don't want to stop this stuff suddenly. It must be titrated downward slowly.
