Lyrica Withdrawals Winging Off (Page 3)
(Newest replies first)

Updated

I'm wanting to hear from anyone who has winged off of lyrica after so many mths taking it. I have had it with the med. I've gained 35 lbs in 4 mths. I never gain wt. I have sever numbness in hands and feet and swolleness. It's scary! I ran out one time with out getting refill, though I'd just stop it and start another tx. Well very wrong. I got so sick. I was having withdrawels and I had to get back on it. At the time it was worth getting back on it quickly to feel better. Plus the other side effects hadn't kicked in yet and not so severely. I'm worried it will be difficult to get off of it.

The phrase is 'weaned off' not 'winged off'

I just started Lyrica for about a week now. So far all it has done was get rid of my very severe nerve pain in my kneck. I had a extra rix removed, the rib had caused so much irrevirceable nerve damage before it was removed. I use to take Gabapinten up to 1200mg per day. Now I only take the one75mg tablet every 12 hours. No side affects. I'll keep you posted.

I have been on Lyrica for about 9 months with no weight gain. However when my mom passed away this year, I put on about 10 pounds. I am now having problems with my lower back, and the exercises they have given me in physical therapy have helped a lot. I have lost 3 pounds in 2 weeks, It really helps, as I was afraid of hurting my back before, so did not exercise. For all you people looking for great pain relief, TRY MESSAGE. Before my surgery on my neck, I had been to physical therapy for 3 months with no relief, then decided to try a message. The stabbing pain I had in my back was gone by the next day. I could have saved myself a lot of money if I would have tried that in the first place. The Lyrica also seems to be working for me.

I still haven't gotten completely off it but I've lowered the dosage w wks at a time. Dr is helping me wing off of it little by little, so I won't get sick. I'm down to 50mg once a day. and I'm doing much better. I'm dieting for all the weight I've gained. I seem to have my appetite back under control. That lyrica really made me crave food like unreal.Never have I felt that side effect before. I've always tried to gain weight. Now dieting is wild for me. But it's working. And honestly pain wise. I feel like I may be regressing and having pain again with weather change etc. It did help my pain level obviously, but the side effects were just too bad. so I'll be trying a new med when I get off this one. That's all I can do for now. Thanks to those of you that have responded to my questions, etc. And I hope you get to feeling better soon.

thanks Verwon that was the exact imformation I was looking for. And really makes sense. Never thought of it that way. I think I'll be able to wing this off after all the way you advised me. Thank you very much.

I took it for fibromyalgia. Although it did help my flareup tremendously. The side effects are too much.
