    . Hi Kevin,

    Sorry but I am not the best person to ask. I was prescribed Lyrica after the first neuralgia attack, but after research decided I didn't want the drug as my GP said that I would need it for life and I didn't kike the look of the side effects. At the moment I cope with the occasional tramadol, but who knows in the future.

    Good luck Kevin

    OMGosh!!! I am having the worse time coming off, and I keep telling the doctors info not like my thoughts and depression.  And all I get back is well just kerp taking it and lowerby he dose. And don't just stop because it can ruin your thyroid. Well what about my life?? I just want scream. I may be calling today to really ask for some kind of help rolleyes

    Goodluck and my suggestion is to get off as soon as you can.

      Don't like the sound of this! I've missed one tablet at night once and I felt like I'd been out and had 20 pints of vodka! Don't know weather just to stay on them cos they doing nothing for my anxiety or the pain for my frozen shoulder

    I suggest you seek a second opinion. And try to reduce the dosage slowly. But staying on them wouldn't be an option for me.

    All the best

      Kevin my doctors just keeps telling me that I have to work through all the anxiety but they're not helping me with the increase of anxiety and depression and frustration and pain while I'm trying to come off the meds so frustrating because they are not having to deal with what I am dealing with on a daily basis. I am now down to 50mg in the morning and 25mg at night. Ugh just want to be off.
