Default l new and need help! Lyrica withdrawal

hi I am suffering from pins and needles and burning sensation in both hands. this started my journey with gabapentin initial dosage of 300 milligrams 3 times a day gradually increased to 3600 milligrams by the end of March. the pain was spreading and increasing so I decided to wean myself off. after this is very fuzzy.I had been off of the gabapentin for a month suffering miserably with increasing pain do 2 pins and needles and burning sensations in both hands now extending down right leg and foot. I was desperate feeling very anxious, suicidal, crying uncontrollably, throat tightening dry mouth. two weeks later was admitted to the hospital because I could not move my motor sensory was depleted. test revealed that I was low on potassium but was kept in the hospital for further testing. inconclusive. while I was in the hospital they gave me lyrica which I continue to take increasing the dosage to 450 milligrams within 2 weeks and the pain has steadily increased. so I decided to wean myself off as best as I can due to the fact that I could not afford to refill my prescription. my taper off from 450 milligrams was done in 5 days and now it I am withdrawing severely with my throat tightening.I need to hear from someone who has survived withdrawing from lyrica. please is anyone out there to offer some support?
