I went off Lyrica last year. I was on 300 mg. a day for 18 months. I weaned off it over 3 weeks by going down 25 mg. every 3rd day. The withdrawal was horrible. I went off it because I had suspected it was causing an all over itching burning sensation in my skin that no doctor could figure out. When I started to withdrawal the itching/burning skin got much worse. It continued until 2 months after I was off the Lyrica, but then it slowly began to go away. The other withdrawal I had were anxiety, insomnia, anger, depression, and RLS. After 2 months most of those went away. I coped with it by doing yoga, qigong, and meditation everyday. And drank alot of water and decaf green tea. It was hard work but worth it in the end.
