Does Lyrica cause withdrawals

Answer 1

stopped taking lyrica now have shortness of breath and rapid heart beat

To the first response, and the person asking the question, I say: DO NOT STOP TAKING LYRICA SUDDENLY. Lyrica DEFINITELY CAUSES INTENSE WITHDRAWAL SYMPTOMS. They can include: violent panic, sudden high blood-pressure, tachycardia (rapid heart rate), the shakes, sweating, chills, nausea, vomiting, diarrhea, convulsive seizures, hallucinations, paranoid attacks, chest pains, intensely suicidal thoughts, complete sleep-deprivation, violent startle reactions, and pseudo-psychosis.

Answer 2

Onsetting about 12 to 24 hours after the last dose taken, they enter several stages, becoming increasingly severe, debilitating, and even dangerous, within the next 48 hours or so. They may reach a plateau for about a week, remaining very severe, and in people who have been taking it for years, may require hospitalization after 10 days. Lyrica withdrawal effects are reported by many Lyrica users to last as long as three MONTHS. And Lyrica (pregabalin) SHOULD NOT BE STOPPED ALL AT ONCE if you can possibly avoid it.
