Well although I saw some progress, I'm struggling with the Lyrica withdrawal. I've been completely off for 2.5 months. I'm better than I was 2 months ago, but still feel bad. The acupuncture helped for a while, but it's like I've hit a plateau and can't get better. Help! Lyrica is the worst. You could not pay me to ever go back on it. It is debilitating on my life.
Any advice? Those of you who have successfully gotten off, what did you do to help the withdrawal symptoms? Thank you! |

Well, no great news: every time I cut by 50% to 150mg, I end up exhausted. So, I cut a couple nights ago, and slept for 11 hours, woke up exhausted. Was falling asleep at my desk - had to knock off and nap for a couple hours 2 or 3 times the next day.
So, last night, I took 300mg, slept 8 hours, and was fine all day today. I'm going to have to schedule a serious down-week, and just bite the bullet, I think. Of course, my nerve pain is pretty elevated at the same time. Win-Win. Damn drug. |

The only things that I'm suffering since quitting Lyrica is depression, anxiety and the inability to speak as good and as muh as I used to do while on Lyrica. I also became very sensitive and very scared of crowded places. No nausea, no fever no any physical side effects.
I really have no idea how to overcome this anxiety and fear! If anyone has had such experience, please share. |

In your experience, is switching to an EOD dosing an effective way to accomplish a taper? So, 300mg EOD, 150mg EOD as a dosing scheme, as opposed to working out a way to do a 225mg ED dosing scheme? |
