Has anybody recovered their overall body strength after tapering off all meds?

months ago when I was on 300 mg lyrica and then added 20mg of elavil, I noticed extreme difficulty in climbing stairs with very wobly legs. Also the cement leg syndrome was with me permanently so I figured I was going downhill pretty fast. Another thing i did was clasp my hands together like praying and push against them hard, the reaction being my arms and elbows would wobble like crazy. Just no strength.
I also staggered a lot like I was drunk.

Fast forward and down to .5mg Elavail only.I can climb stairs no probs, cement legs gone and pressing my hands together and applying pressure (hard) creates trembling but no arm wobble which would be normal.


My question is since neuro drugs like neurontin, lyrica etc all work in changing the way the brain receives signals from damaged nerves. So wouldnt it make sense that the brain would have trouble in reverse , being difficulty in commanding those same nerves?

Being off these drugs I have a spring and bounce in my step which I cannot contribute to anything else.
Any thoughts anyone?
