Lyrica is not considered a drug for depression - why on earth would your Doc put you on it!? It is not even labeled for use with anxiety, but people are prescribed it for this too.
There is a good facebook group called lyrica survivors which you should take a look at. Please be warned that depression is itself a withdrawal effect, particularly those who already suffer from it. Please make sure you take it VERY slowly (we are talking months, NOT weeks) and ideally, if you are still experiencing significant depression, to cross taper onto a antidepressant.
