I suggest you go VERY slowly. I think docs only follow what the manufacture says about Lyrica withdrawal and some are not listening to their patients experiences. I tried my docs taper schedule and it was way too fast.

I suggest you use the SEARCH function here on the forum( on the toolbar at the top) and put in LYRICA WITHDRAWAL.
There are a couple long threads with the experiences of many folks here and my experiences as well.

Welcome and I wish you well,D.
Hi Diandra, if you don't mind me asking, what form of seizures do you have?

Default Finally OFF Lyrica…will NEVER go back on

My body finally weened it's way off that horrible drug and I was in tears of relief the first few days. So many of my symptoms decreased!!! I was convinced that I had Fibro on top of CRPS and that I was suffering from something else major because of the all over pain and stiffness I had. These are the things that simply vanished when I came off.
1- All over achiness
2-memory loss
3- extreme sleepiness
4- pain in my upper back & joints

I do have a little bit more nerve pain without the Lyrica but I had to weigh my options and I honestly feel better without all the above. Once I stopped withdrawing, which was HORRIBLE! (sweats, nauseous, shaky, vertigo, sharp nerve shoots,blurred vision, insomnia) I added a WINS (quell) see different post. And I feel better than I have in months. The Lyrica was making my symptoms worse. Not worth it!
