I stopped taking Lyrica on Tuesday. I was getting another weird side effect of a feeling of pressure on my neck, like a seatbelt digging in, and tingling that radiated under my chin that felt like ants crawling along my nerves. It still hasn't entirely gone away.
My pdoc said to persevere with Lyrica without taking zopiclone until Monday, and if the problem still continues he's 'not averse' to giving me some temazepam instead. Sure knows how to use a bit of carrot and stick, but I'm not going back on Lyrica. It might be okay as a p.r.n. med, but I'd prefer lorazepam. I was also getting behavioural disinhibition like with benzos, and this led to a few outbursts and embarssasing incidents. I don't want to go back to being like that.
Q
P.S. I did take another dose of zopiclone with Lyrica on Monday night and was okay, but I could hardly tell I'd taken anything - couldn't tell when the zopiclone kicked in and also the strange bitter taste didn't come on either.
