RE:For Mrs.D

I am currently taking near maximum doses of Lyrica,Neurontin,and Depekote.
600mg,3600mg,and 1750mg repectively. Lyrica for PN, Neurontin for PN and Bi-Polar and Depekote ER for Bi-Polar. I want to quickly discontinue the Lyrica. Can it be safely done?

I really don't know. All 3 of those drugs are complicated.

I'd have a doctor help you, at this point.

I did not think you could stop Lyrica without weaning so I looked it up for you. Here is what I found: If you suddenly stop taking pregabalin, you may experience withdrawal symptoms, including trouble falling asleep or staying asleep, nausea, diarrhea, headaches, or seizures.
As Mrs D suggested don't stop Lyrica without speaking with your doctor.
