I need to call my doctor today again-- no call back yesterday. I am really tired of having a psychiatrist, I really am. I was thinking of going through my family doctor for lithium and maybe the lamictal if I keep the lamictal. The rest I'll drop. Oh, and the anxiety has been awful, especially when I wake. Cr*p. My stomach is clenching again. I'm really going on here--thanks for asking. I didn't know stopping would be like this!Hi Beckett,
Lyrica withdrawal is a nightmare =/ I know this first hand. I was finally able to quit taking it by getting a prescription for memantine, which I only took for about 1-2 weeks while tapering off Lyrica. Any chance you can get this?
An alternative really worth trying is taking plenty of magnesium citrate throughout the day while you taper. It should buffer the withdrawal.
I hope you're feeling better soon.
