Lil Lamb...
Consider this your opportunity to get off of it permanently. Check out this link for a summary of what's going on with people who have discontinued it.
(this site won't accept links in the post so google
Lyrica Withdrawal Can Causes Seizures even if you don't have a seizure disorder You'll find the article by Jillian Barclay)
I had a similar situation when my doctor didn't refill the script. He was just too busy and didn't get to it. I was so sick that even once restarting the Lyrica, was unable to return to work (which I love my work..) for a week.
Think about it... Good luck in your journey.
