Iam slowly stopping lycria , as I have angioedema , my throat feels as though it is closing and have a rash on chest and itching throughout body .
I have been taken to hospital twice and now carry an epi pen , take antihistamines and steriods.
so myself and pain dr decided yesterday to slowly come of the lycria , I believe the withdrawal is not nice , big hugs angie x
from my own knowledge and expericence slowly withdrawing from a drug is the best way to go. keep in touch with your doc and let him know anything that comes up. i wish you all the best and send you HUGGGGGGGGGS

Hello Angie,
Not able to give you any advice from personal experience. Just like to add my support, and wish you well.
Take care, Anne
Hi Angie, I am sorry you are going thru this. I haven't been on Lyrica so I am sorry I can't offer your personal experience. However, if you go the discussion page and type in Lyrica withdrawal in the search box, it will bring up other member experiences. And as already mentioned, it is very important to keep your doctor updated on all your symptoms. Please keep us updated on how you are doing. Hugs!
Sending you hugs and hoping that your have few if no withdrawal symptoms.

on day 3 , throat starting to ease , skin still itchy , cant seem to sleep very well , body feels exhausted , having to change bed clothes as sweating so much through the night. Keeping positive , hugs angie x
I have come off lyrica and depending on your dosage(i was on 75mg 3 times a day), it can be rough. It was the worst one for me in comparison to cymbalta and gabapentin. I spent about two weeks being sick to my stomach I was unable to keep food in me from either end. Cold sweats and general brain fog/inability to concentrate. I'm sorry to tell you but I figured you'd rather know, I know I would have.
Ty , I would rather know , still feel rough , tightness in throat played up yesterday , but fine today . Just be gappy when its out of mt system, I was taking 375 mg daily , big hugs xx
