Can't get lyrica don't want withdrawal help

I have successfully been prescribed brand Lyrica 150 x2 during day & brand Lyrica 200 x1 at night. I have been taking it since 2005; 18 years. Brand Lyrica is no longer available here. I tried pregabalin (generic)and had allergic reaction.
Prior to 2005 I had been prescribed gabapentin with very bad side effects. Cymbalta, too, was problematic and ineffectual. Can’t do CBD/marijuana.
How to mitigate withdrawal? What to substitute?

Hello @tos and welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. I found an existing discussion where members are no longer taking Lyrica and discussing withdrawal, so you will notice I have moved your post here:

Have you been offered any recommendations from your doctor given all of the complications?

Ohhh I feel for because I have the same exact problem. I am allergic to so much of the prescribed medication. I have been on Tramadol for about 5 years not and I at least have a half a brain on it. Last summer mu doctor put me on oxycodone and I went over the edge. Very bad reaction to it. They gave me a muscle relaxer and I had a caesura from it.
Lots of luck to you.
