I’ve been on Lyrica ten Yrs and am trying to decrease the amount I’m taking. My rheumatologist advised me to decrease by 10mgs/mo. That’s what safe. If you titrate faster than that you will have awful insomnia , headaches, body jerking, depression and possible seizure activity.

I believe that's a brazen comment.
Tapering varies significantly from person to person.
I've known and read of people who could stop by cutting their dose in half then quitting with no problems.
A person here on Connect takes about one-half of one percent and has considerable side effects.
Take care,
Jake
