These drugs really work differently in most people.

Some love them, some hate them etc.

Your dark thoughts reflect the new warnings...of suicidal ideation which as been reported.

Both these drugs block nerve impulses in the spinal cord. This is their proposed mechanism of action. Remove the block suddenly and a torrent of electrical activity may follow.
There have been warnings of seizures for some people.

So there is no real way to block the withdrawal as there is with
SSRI's which using tryptophan may help.

I don't know of anything yet to help with Neurontin/Lyrica withdrawal... sorry.
