Hello to all. My as questions is as the title suggests.
Here is the situation:
I am a chronic pain patient. I will spare you the details, as all the patients I have seen seem to love brandishing their problems.
Every three to six months I will taper down to keep from building tolerance. I have stayed at the same dose for three years, and would like to keep it that way.
Every time I did, I suffered horribly from withdrawls. I seem to be worse than most - I will not sleep for 7 - 9 days, and have the whole range, just as if I was going C/T (which I have done as well).
My job is very competitive, so time off is not an option. The loss of performance that occured during the tapering sessions affect my job too much.
So, I found out about Lyrica. I must say, that for me, it has been a miracle.
However, I don't want to add another dependency to the list.
Thanks in advance for all answers.

*Sorry, forgot the dosages.
Three times 100mgs of lyrica per day.
I am dropping from 2 20mg Opana and two 15mg Roxi per day to half the 20 Opana in the morning, half in the evening, no roxi.
Of course, I did three days taper to that, one day with one roxi, both opanas, two days both opana, then the half in the morning half in the evening regime.
