I got off of Lyrica slowly over the course of 4 months. When I was dow to 50 mg a day my Dr. said I can stop taking it. I stopped a week ago and feel worse than I did while taking it. Question.....Can an altered sense of smell, (the smell of cigarrettes constantly), lightheadedness, having the occasional shakes and being more tired than when I was on Lyrica, be side affects of getting off of Lyrica.
