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?

Hi Teresa,
Thanks very much for your reply.
My doctor has suggested medicinal cannabis oil. I don't want to take it yet , while I'm tapering off Lyrica.
She said to stay on my current dose
of if for now and prescribed valium until i can see a neurologist.
Yes, thank god for pharmacists.
The paramedic also knew about Lyrica withdrawal.
My memory is worse than a golfish right now😂 A common side effect of Lyrica. I also have a rash , and am off balance.
Fun times!
