have now tapered down from 300mg lyrica to 75mg.

have finally settled on amtryptoline very low dose 10mg.

I have less pain then when the doc initially put me on 300mg lyrica and 25mg nortyptoline 2 years ago.

The swelling in my feet has gone down which i suspect was not from neuropathy but lyrica. My worst pain days were when swelling was highest compressing the nerves.

I will have lyrica out of my system next week.

Anyone else tried tapering down without consulting the doc? Just have a feeling that many are taking a large dosage of drugs that may not be effective anymore but continue anyway.
