That is really encouraging to hear you are doing well enough to consider a Benzo reduction. I forgot to ask how long you have been on the Lyrica and how long did it take you to get to the therapeutic dose of 300mgs b.i.d. My doctor gave me a bottle of 30 50mg samples this week but I have not had the courage to try it yet.
