So sorry to hear you folks are experiencing the infamous Lyrica withdrawl. I only take 150 mg per day and have been on this dose which has been effective for me for at least 7 years. Several times, I have experienced problems with my Part D provider not wanting to cover it for me and it took at least a month of aggressive calls from me and the pain doc to clear it up. In the meantime, I went through a w/d from hell.............worse than going off the sched. IIs. The last time it happened, at week six, I called the pain doc and my primary and told them not to panic but I was going to the ER and say that I was in severe w/d and having auditory hallucinations and suicidal ideations. I was put up on the psych unit and got a Lyrica within an hour. Of course, I ended up staying there for a week but at least was discharged with a pre-certed script.
