I tapered off Gabapentin at Christmas to change to Lyrica, my GP told me to come down 300mgs per day(my dose was 2400mg per day) by day 3 I was in absolute agony, I called another doc and he said I was reducing too quickly, it should have been one 300mg per week! I am so glad I persevered and switched to Lyrica, the burning has almost disappeared and I have found my feet cold on numerous occasions, this is delicious after years of constant burning
