Im still taking lyrica, but have been comsidering coming off it. Ive joined a favebook group called lyrica surviviors. There is over 8,500 members that have stopped taking lyrics or or going through withdrawals. And they say the withdrawals are horrendous. Lots of doctors dont realize how bad it is. They claim that lyrics causes brain damage. And your brain needs to repair itself while you are withdtawinh. It scares me so much, becsuse ive bern taking it for 14 years! You have to look up the group under pregbaline survivors. Its very informative and has a list and instructions for tapering. Good luck to you. Hope you feel better soon!

I was in the hospital last month with an infection in a surgical site. I did not receive any of my meds for almost a week which included the lyrica.. I was getting oxycodone for my pain so I never missed the lyrica. I stayed off of it for almost 3 weeks and realized i do need it for my fibro and arthritis pain. I have arthritis in my back, hands and neck and the neck hurts the worst lately and so I am back on the lyrica and it is helping. I had no success with cymbalta and I did have to do a reducing doseage over a 3 week period.

😔 so sorry you’re doing it so tough sis....maybe it’s time you went back to your door with these horrible symptoms.....to get some more advice...or is there a helpline you could call...we have them here in Australia, ours is Nurse on Call.....sending healing hugs and supportive thoughts your way ....✝️✝️✝️😔👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩👩‍❤️‍💋‍👩✝️✝️✝️

I was on Lyrica for only 3 months a few years ago and I had a bad time with it. I tapered off slowly and I hope your doc advised you to do that. It’s not a med that should be stopped suddenly. I seem to recall I had anxiety and sleep disturbance as I withdrew. It didn’t last thank goodness. Take it slow. Good luck 💕

I don't know about Lyrica. But I do know that coming off anything with fibromyalgia it is a lot worst than with someone who doesn't have fibromyalgia. Take it slow and hang in there. This to shall pass. I pray God will take your withdraws always real soon. In Jesus's name I pray.
