Hi Amanda,
Thankyou so much for your help and for the link. I can't tell how much I appreciate it.

My usual doctor has left.
It is so hard to find a doctor who understands Lyrica tapering and the adverse effects.
My pharmacist knew more about it than the new doctor I saw!
I have stopped tapering off Lyrica for now after that scary experience.

Hello @wizzywinkles3

I am sorry to hear of the problems you are having with tapering off of Lyrica. It can be difficult. I see that you were on 150 mg for a year and you are now down to 100 mg.

You were certainly wise to talk with your pharmacist. I'm not surprised that he gave you more information than your current physician. Pharmacists have a great knowledge of medications and how they work as well as how people react when withdrawing. That was a very good first step.

Since Lyrica is no longer working for you for the pain and neuropathy has your doctor suggested any other medication?
