I have been taking Lyrica 225 mg twice a day for 12 years. I want to find ways of discontinuing this medication. I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia in 1986. I also suffer from Neuropathy. I am 66 yrs old and realizing what the dangers are taking this medication. I would appreciate any input Thank you.

@djslevel, members can offer their experiences with this medication and tapering off of it, but it is always safest and best practice to consult with your provider or pharmacist on how to best taper off of medication. @djslevel, have you consulted with your provider about your long-term concerns with lyrica?
