Gastroparesis effects the way you process food, it was kinda of like being full all the time. Only if I ate I would get really sick. Heck if I did not even eat I would get sick. It was not fun at all. Once I reduced the seizure medication I was on it went away for the most part. I still get really bad nausea a lot, but I am able to keep food down.

Thanks for responding
Good for you no side effects from going of the lyrica cold turkey. Dont think I could be that brave or lucky. I will have to talk to my doc about the ambien at a lower dose. Are you saying the seizure med caused your gastroparesis or just made it worse.? Is your nausea/gastroparesis from autonomic neuropathy? Just wondern, been gettn alot of strange feelings in my stomach lately sometimes wonder if its the lyrica or something else....feel better!!
