Absolutely ridiculous!
Your doc should have given you a titration schedule to cut back on the neurontin and increase the lyrica gradually over a period of 1-2 weeks-dependent on how much you have been taking in the past.
It amazes me that a doctor hasn't bothered to keep up with proper changeover/switch procedures. You cannot just stop one and take the other.
This could be dangerous!
