Default Peripheral Neuropathy

Thanks for your reply Mrs D. The more I think about it, it could be withdrawal symptoms from the Lyrica. After I stopped taking it I had symptoms of severe depression and anxiety. I was careful to come off it slowly. I was taking 25mg 3 times a day. I stopped taking it by dropping 25mg every fortnight. Today I was having a severe anxiety attack so I thought this morning I would take a Lycria 25mg and about 2 hrs later my anxiety disappeared. I then took another one at lunch and have been fine all afternoon. I am worried now, how do I get off Lyrica as I don't need to take it for my neuropathy as taking R Liptic Acid and Bentotiamine combined with losing weight and modifying my diet have considerably lessened the numbness, burning, freezing sensation in my feet. Do I go cold turkey or try just taking very small doses of Lyrica daily? Thanking you.
