I see I’m not the only one that goes through Lyrica withdrawals but I get them very bad, me and my fiancé almost broke up cause I got extreme aggravation moods, highly depressed, I withdrew from school for a few months I can’t sleep or eat I’m always hot or cold and I just finished my last script today so tomorrow I’m gonna be suffering so bad and I’m so scared of going through that again. Is there a suboxone version for Lyrica or something for the withdrawals cause I can’t go through this again. Last time was for 2 weeks I went through it and I need all the help I can get. I was on 1200 mgs a day the last time but this time I’m only on 600mgs a day is there a drug to take until the symptoms subside or how do I do this my doctor won’t give me anymore since I’m seeing a new doctor and he don’t believe in that stuff please help someone

Hello @jfanesi, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sorry you have to go through the withdrawal symptoms. I know it's not easy. There are other members here who I'm sure can offer some suggestions. I did find some information with suggestions that may be helpful here:

I think the key is to taper off slowly. Are you able to talk to your doctor about a schedule for tapering off of lyrica?
