> I've been on 50mg 3x\day Lyrica for about the past 2 or 3 months. I think I've come to the conclusion that it's been making me feel worse, starting probably within the last few weeks. It's not a question of having developed a tolerance towards it, but of it causing in me some sort of agitation (possibly the same sort of agitation that I can see leading towards Lyrica's much publicized suicidal behavior.)

> So has anyone here had any issues stopping Lyrica? Their capsules, so I don't have much flexability. The only start I can really make is dropping to 50mg 2x a day. So what would be a good tapering schedule? I also have about 14 or 15 25mg pills. And a question of equal importance: what side effects should I expect.Maybe it's akathisia. I wish they'd make some new drugs without that side-effect by now... but no.
I don't expect much good from Pfizer anyway, they seem like an evil company.
