@note8book I don't know how long you have been on it. I took gabapentin for neuropathy. 300mg twice a day. At first it helped the neuropathy but the brain confusion was concerning. After a short time it felt like it did more harm than good to muscles and bones. Didn't help pain much either. I think the longest I took it everyday was 4 months. I quit cold turkey and had very little side effects and what I did have cleared up in a week or so. I am 68. You could just taper. Lower dose until you feel you can quit altogether. I completely understand the fear.

@humblyhoping I have been on Lyrica 47 days and I wouldn't even think of getting off it cold turkey. I also have high blood pressure and take BP meds three times a day and my blood pressure still spikes up sometimes in the low 200's when my skin gets to burning very bad. I am afraid if I try to wean off my skin will start burning and spike up my BP and I will have a stroke. I have clonidine to take if it is real high and it is hours before time for my next dose of BP med. I am also having other side effects such as nausea, nervousness, being clumsy,and some short term memory problems. I just don't like the way it makes me feel. I just don't feel like me.
