Hi @babyur4me,
Thank you for the private message and letting me know that it's OK to answer it in a discussion about Lyrica. You mentioned you read the discussion about taking CBD and Lyrica and you want to know more about people taking Lyrica. The doctor prescribed it for your legs which have a burning feeling during the night. it's not helping and you want to stop taking it but your doctor said you just can't stop taking it. This is a very expensive Med. My Ins. paid 647.00 and I paid 80.

Tapering off too quickly can be life threatening with the side effects worse than the original pain/symptoms. I have no medical training or knowledge but know of others that had difficulty tapering off of lyrica and gabapentin and it must be done slowly. Here’s some info on tapering off of Lyrica: https://www.recovery.org/topics/lyrica/

@babyur4me what dosage of Lyrica are you on and how long have you been on it? I'm sure other members will be able to offer some suggestions for you but I would work with your doctor to taper off slowly.
