Hi Gitte,

SO sorry to hear that your son also suffers from RSD at such a young age! Please know that I am here if either of you ever want to talk - I know how hard it can be dealing with this monster of an illness!

The withdrawals from the Lyrica lasted about 2 weeks. It was absolute h*ll during that time - I kept being sick, having severe panic attacks and mood swings etc. I remember how I used to hit my mum in the car whilst she was driving - that is something I would never dream of doing now and it makes me so sick knowing that I used to do that but had no control over it!

I hope your son doesn't have any problems if he decides to come off the Lyrica. I think part of my problem was that I was took off it too quickly and my body couldn't tolerate it.

Best wishes to you both!
