Tapering off Lyrica gave me panic, nausea, extreme anxiety

@wizzywinkles3,
I feel your pain in some measure. As I tapered from many years of benzo use and it was pure hell. I still have bouts of nausea and wondered what that was like for you? What seemed to help with your nausea?
Do you think, given your current symptoms, that you are tapering too fast or current dose should increase some?
Hang in there. It will get better.

Hi Clutch,
Your reply means a lot me, thankyou.
Your benzo withdrawal sounds horrific. You made it through , so much respect for you🌺
But still you have nausea bouts, I am sorry.
My doctor gave me Stemetil for nausea, a pill used for vertigo and nausea.
I only use it in emergencies.
I am now so reluctant to take pills, due to this Lyrica experience.
Doctors give you a pill to help with side effects from another pill, which also causes side effects and before you know it you're Keith Richards😁
Sorry, i use humour to get through tough times.
Ginger pills called Travelcalm do help.
And peppermint tea, it really works and I am not really a hippy type person.
Yes, i definetely tapered foo fast. 50mg in a week was too much.
I've raised my dose slightly.
I'm a strong willed person, but now I wake up like Edie Falco in Nurse Jackie.
Great series but i don't want to live the part😁
