I have been on this for about 2 1/2 years (300mg/day). I have had surgery to repair my spinal problems which helped my original pain. I would like to see if I can come off this due to the cloudiness of thinking, memory problems, and weight gain.
I have heard some horror stories about people coming off this and having side effects again months later.
I am also on Venlafexine and am familiar with side effects of coming off of that. Aweful! What can you or anyone else tell me? Please be specific so I can know what to expect.
I would like to know more about the side effects of discontnuing Lyrica?
