I’m sorry you are having a rough time. That’s a tough one I found out from a friend of mine. I’m going through a meds change, an increase. But it seems to be doing what it’s meant to do so I can’t complain. I hope you feel better.
I’m sorry you are going through this. I’m supposed to try new meds in December when I’m on break… kind of scared to. Cus I feel ok with the ones I.m on… but one or two of them are affecting my eyesight
My doctor do share side effects of medicine if she gives me a new one but withdrawal are often left out and even then the side effects aren’t properly lay out, just copy and paste from the pharma companies
I weaned of 600 mg lyrica cold turkey, it was brutal and i don’t recommend it. I think the withdrawals took one and a half months. It was a really strange period.
Good luck with your withdrawal. I think lyrica is overrated.
Six days ago I stopped using opium, cold turkey (i am very impatient, i hate to taper down, i rather take the pain quick and get it over). Awful withdrawals.
Later, at the rehab clinic, they instantly gave me suboxone for my withdrawals. Right now the doctor says there is a battle between opium and suboxone in my brain and I can expect a chaotic week and oh my, she is right.
I’m going through the strangest period of my life. I’m very confused.
By the way - it one of the most marketed drugs at all. I hate the mix between marketing and heavy drugs like Lyrica.

“Since 2008, Pfizer has engaged in extensive direct-to-consumer advertising campaigns to promote its branded product Lyrica for fibromyalgia and diabetic nerve pain indications. In January 2016, the company spent a record amount, $24.6 million for a single drug on TV ads, reaching global revenues of $14 billion, more than half in the United States.[105]”
