Default Lyrica withdrawl - minor seizures?

I have been talking Lyrica PRN for glossopharyngeal neuralgia. The attacks are very irregular, sometimes weeks between, sometimes only a day. Acupuncture helps, gabapentin/lidocaine/ketoprofen cream helps, but when it gets really bad only the Lyrica seems to stop the pain. It usually takes 200-300 mg. I don't like the side effects - foggy thinking, woozy head, very sleepy.

About 20 hours after a 200 mg dose I had a trembling fit for about 45 seconds, then another for about 20 seconds a half hour later.

I had to take another 200 mg this morning (Happy freakin' New Year, eh?) at about 3:30 am. Slept until about 4 this afternoon. Worried about a seizure while I sleep tonight.

Any thought?
