Hey everyone,

Iv got a quick query for the people who have taken and gotten off lyrica before, how long did it continue to provide you pain relief after you stopped taking it?

Im currently on 150mg twice a day (300mg total) for nerve pain. Iv been on it for 5 months now and i wanted to check how bad my pain really is now 5 months on. So i stopped taking lyrica 3 days ago. Im not really getting any negative side effects so far except the increase in nerve pain. So i was wondering how long will it stay in my system and keep providing some sort of relief? As its kind of bad already but i would like to know how bad the real pain levels are before going back to my neurosurgeon. Should i expect the pain to get worse after three days? or is three days enough to get it out of your system? As i keep reading mixed things everywhere like it has half life of 6 hours or 6 hours per mg?
