Hello @cdcc and welcome to Mayo Connect.

I'm so sorry to hear of the side effects that you were having with Lyrica - I can certainly understand your wanting to go off of it. While I have never taken this med myself, I know from other discussions how important it is to follow a tapering off schedule It is best to allow your doctor to help you develop a plan to taper off this type of med.

I am going to invite @johnbishop and @jimhd to this discussion as they are also volunteer mentors with Mayo Connect and discuss a lot of problems with neuropathy, chronic pain and other nerve disorders. Perhaps they can add to this discussion if they have known of others who have taken this med.

I would also invite you to read the discussion on Trigeminal nerve pain. Many of the members have used Lyrica or other drugs. Here is the link, https://connect.mayoclinic.org/discussion/trigeminal-neuralgia-2273cc/?pg=9#comment-80086.

I am glad to hear that you have an appointment with a psychiatrist to discuss the problems you are having with the withdrawal process.

Will you keep in touch with us and let us know how you are doing?

Teresa
