the person who started this post never came back on. wondered if they started Lyrica or tapered off.. always remember dont taper of a medication by yourself.. always have a dr help you... you dont have to go in fopr a visit , just have the nurse call you and she will tell you how to taper off easy..

Before doing that, I would try a board-certified holistic doctor, osteopathic physician, or a clinical toxicologist. If they couldn't help you directly, they might be in a better position to refer you to someone who could. Doc

I have had 4 good days in a row, no queasy stomach or feeling of impending doom. I'm keeping my fingers crossed that this feeling of normalcy will continue. I spoke with my dr on Tuesday and he did not think that the Lyrica withdrawal was the source of my suffering, the one conclusion the western docs want to use to explain the symptoms is pregnancy... Not the case here!!!
I'm trying the eastern medicine route as well, trying to eat better and have been taking 600mg of mucinex a day, there are a couple of websites that indicate that the main ingredient has helped some with fibro pain. As for the upset stomach, I stuck with crackers, ginger ale and a natural chewable vitamin for nausea (it contains black licorice). I use a heating pad for my headaches as any pills (Advil) made my nausea worse. I'm also starting an alkaline diet that is supposed to help with fibro pain, I've just started, but will update with any progress. I feel for everyone going through this experience, it's frustrating, painful and lonely, but hang in there! There seems to be a silver lining to this black loud of withdrawal. Mine has been a month in the making. Be strong! You're not alone! |

Wonderful news. You just may be over the hump. Four days w/o a lyrica wd symptom is extremely encouraging. I have spoken with WAY too many doctors who don't believe there are major Lyrica wd problems and I have been told that it is just so much internet hysteria. My doctor does not fall into that category which is why he is still alive
My experience has been limitted to several times when my Part D provider refused to continue paying for it and I only take 75mg bid. Each time was a six week battle to get it back and I was in full blown wd the entire time. My thoughts and prayers are with you. |

God bless all of you as I've dealt with panic attacks, depression and lows throughout my life and not as a withdrawal symptom. I'm on an excellent antidepressant and have been for many years which has stopped the depression. The panic attacks took about a year to clear up but they've been gone for many years and I definitely never want those again. They are very frightening! I pray that all of make it through your recovery and stay clear of this terrible drug. |

Well I thought I was cured, but this Tuesday I started feeling like crapola again! Luckily the neurologist I'm going to see had an opening for next week. It'll be good to see what they have to say, just hope it's not "there's nothing wrong with you, or there's no reason for you to be feeling this way"... What a roller coaster ride! I'm ready to get off this crazy ride!
I'll give an update after my appt next week. Hope everyone else is strapped in and holding on through this unpredictable ride! Take care! |
