Is anyone experiencing Lyrica or pregabalin "rebound" where, when you go down or off it, the pain is much worse than it was when you first went on it?

The day after I quit Gabapentin and went on Lyrica PN was much worse. Don’t know if that was rebound or not.

Yes I did experience this. My pain felt different than my original pain by the new pain was unbearable. I messed up my tapering schedule so going back up on it and now going down slowly to see if it helps. Very strange and awful to have pain worse when going done on it.

I take generic Lyrica 50 mg only at night. It has helped me a lot with PN, whereas Gabapentin did nothing. I haven’t had any issues if I forget to take it, but it is a small dose.

@margaret10
Yes absolutely -this happened to me.
