Lyrica withdrawal

I have been taking Lyrica for a couple of years and had no idea it was the reason for my weight gain. Has anybody withdrawn from it without side affects?

Hi Jo
I tapered quickly off of Lyrica and did have very bad withdrawals. I would suggest you do a very slow taper. We aren't allowed to give taper advice on this forum as everyone is different.
Just reduce your dose gradually over a period of time and it will minimize the withdrawals.
How much are you taking? Can you discuss this with your doctor?
