You absolutely should NOT withdraw from Lyrica (pregabalin) "cold turkey" or all at once! To do so will probably send you into Withdrawal. If you are going to go off of Lyrica, do it GRADUALLY, carefully, under the close supervision of the prescribing physician.

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.

The longer you have been on it, the worse it will be. If you are going to go off of Lyrica, do it GRADUALLY, carefully, under the close supervision of the prescribing physician. Good Luck!
