Having Withdrawls from Lyrica

[TheAbleChef]

I stop taking Lyrica on Monday by mistake and thus decided to stop all together. For those who don't know Lyrica is known for giving birth defects in newborns from the father, not just from the mother. Monday wasn't bad but yesterday sucked! I started to cry in the morning like I did when I first got injured. I don't have the depression anymore. Has this happened to anyone else? Did you take anything else to help with the withdrawls?

What about DLPA?

My withdrawls woke me up out of a sound sleep when they first started. Massive headache that eventually made me sick to my stomach for 2 days. I was so sore from throwing up i could barely function for a week after. I felt like a hard core drug addict! I swear that shit about killed me! Good luck!

Lyrica isn't the kind of thing that's made to quit cold turkey. What dose were you taking?

I was a wuss and a week is all I could stand.I was nauseated,in sweats,head throbbing,sleepless,spazzing violently and felt suicidal. It was brutal. I wish I'd never been put on it. It's a nasty evil drug.

Best wishes to quitting,I highly reccomend tapering very slowly!

i would have talked to your PCP about maybe startin a ween off schedule, you have to be real careful with perscribed meds, My PCP put me on Xanax but i never took any of them becuase i know how addictive they can be, I still have the bottle filled in my cabnet, I take lexapro now for my depression and i learned how to control my anxiety the old fasion way.

I "accidently " ran outta my Lyrica a couple months ago, the only withdrawl I noticed was I didn't sleep for like 3 days. I was going to the gym, driving, cooking, everything, but was onCC or watching movies all night. I never got run down(didn't feel like it) but eventually did feel the effects. Then got my scrip in the mail(I hate mail scrips) and started the dose again, Took a few nights to get back to normal routine.
Good luck, and best IS to wean off of it.

I was weening off it for about a month from 100mg twice a day down to 25 mg twice a day. I went to a bachelor party last weekend and on Monday I forgot to take my Lyrica but I didn't notice any changes. The next day I woke and started crying for no reason, headaches, muscle aches and spasms, nerve pain..damn the withdrawls were bad. I'm starting to get over them now but my leg still hurts.

Has anyone tried DLPA?
