I am taking 25mg of Lyrica with my evening meal, and then 50mg at bedtime for fibromyalgia, which was up diagnosed for many years. The Lyrica has been a miracle drug for me. However, if a miss the bedtime dose, my pain returns the next morning. I am thinking the drug is no longer in my system after 12 hours. Is this right?

8+hrs it is 100% removed intact in your urine

Pay no attention to other people here most are full of s*** and not taking the meds correctly or taking too much too soon. Plus the people going cold turkey will have big side effects.. all documents state this

I took a 300mg lyrica and im high as f***. Feels like im kinda drunk and high off xanax. No side effect. Just a great high and it lasts like 5 hours. Thats the truth.

When you have problems withdrawing from Lyrica it's very important to do a very slow taper. Reducing your dose by 10% every month works for most people. And when there comes a month withdrawal symptoms still break through, just increase the dose by 10% back again and you should be fine.
When you feel you are still going too fast you can stay at a certain dose for a month longer, it will only take some more time till you are there.

Do the water titration method, and it goes like this:
Get yourself some 100 ml jars and some syringes to do the job.
For instance: empty your capsule into a 100 ml jar filled with water and shake it well. The first month you suck 10 ml of the solution out of it, the 2nd. mont 20 ml, and so on.
At he end it still can be rough, and when you feel so, just slow your taper to 5% (5 ml) a month.

This taper will last about a year, but it will prevent you from going through hell.
Lyrica withdrawal can be just as bad (or even worse) as benzo withdrawal, so take it slow and take your time.

Good luck!

I was on lyrica for a couple of years and wanted off. I tapered off and my nightmare began. Every morning I have nausea, headaches, chills. I've been trying for 7-8 weeks now and it's been hell! If you aren't on it, stay OFF IT!! I have to use suppository's for nausea. I hear exercising helps. Going to do more of that, work up a sweat. Good luck

I have been taking 400mg of pregabalin for 2yrs for depression, it helps lift my mood but if I forget to take it I feel like I have a cold, other than that a bit of blurring in my eyes occasionally but not a big price to pay for freedom from depression

Because u do get an energy kick similar to pain killers that r opiates. Actually used Lyrica for month to help get off pain killers n after month I still went into full withdrawal sickness-crazy legs, crawling outta my skin feeling. No sleep, body aches so deep n relentless. Nausea diarrhea no appetite. It definitely has addictive quality!

That's wrong. Tell u from experience it's gonna be in your system at least 10days n that's just takin 1 here n there sporadically.

I have a drug screen at my pain management doctor every 2 months. I do not have a prescription for Lyrica, and I got a call saying that I needed to bring my script for Lyrica in on my next visit because my urinalysis showed it in my system. I have never taken Lyrica, but just so you know, some doctors have extensive drug screenings.

I've been off lyrica for 3 years now and still feel depressed and can't sleep worth a damn... Yes, I did wean myself off as I did also with the 3 other medications I was taking for my low back pain and nerve damage. I was on 150mg Lyrica for a couple years along with amatriptaline 25mg at night, 50mg Baclofen up to 3 times daily and also oxycodone up to 4 times a day. Was on a couple different meds before these last 4 but didn't help restless legs or Charlie horses as much as ending combo. I'm only 31 now and am stuck with pain/discomfort because I'm a stay home mom instead of at work LPN as I was before and cannot afford without insurance. How long should depression last, if it's a true side effect of the medication?

I have been on 600mg per day for a couple years and the doctor is now weaning me off. I have been on 100 mg for the past month but it has been 3 days since I have taken it. My skin is so tender and I hurt so bad. I am refusing to take anymore. About how much longer should I expect this or all the other side effects

I wanted to say thank you for your words. I am considering Lyrica for my fibro, so I was researching. Thank you. Sounds like it might work, but I should start with a lower dose and work my way up. That was all.... just thanks for your personal experiences, it helps.

I have been on lyrica for over 2 years now...about 2 months ago my pain clinic discharged me for rescheduling twice n only giving them 24hrs notice instead of 48hrs n then was 5 mins late to my last appt. they gave me a taper prescription but I also still had a refill on my script prior to getting discharged. So I filled my refill first n then a 32 days later I went to turn in my paper script for my taper n they told me it was expired cuz it was more than 30 days old...now mind u, no one from the pain clinic reiterated to me that they go bad within 30days so I had no friggin clue! so the pharmacy told me to just call them n get a new script...when I called I told them what happened n that I still had the paper script as proof I wasn't trying to pull anything n they refused to write a new one!! So now I literally have 2 left that I thank god held onto but by the time I had realized the taper script was expired I had taken all but 4 of my pills from my last script so now I'm sicker than I've ever been in my life not to mention how much pain I'm in! I have a job n I'm a single mom with a 2 yr old! So I guess my question is... Can they really do this to me?! I mean is this even legal? It's sure as s*** not ethical but my god how can they do this to someone?! N I've already tried to get my primary to write me a taper script n that useless b**** told me "she doesn't believe in prescribing lyrica" so no she will not write it for me either!

I don't know if this will help, but have you considered going to the er for withdrawal? They could wow you a script to help. They won't give you a script for lyrica, but likely will give you something to help with the withdrawal. In on month 2 of lyrica, and am constantly fighting migraines. Just sharing. Hope that goes away!
