Lyrica was a godsend for me in oxy wds i did ween way down first. But the first day of wds were so bearable with lyrica, weed brownies and clonidine. I was taking 450mgs at once and noticed i was staggering around stoned at first i thought it was the brownies but on day two i didnt eat a brownie and to my disbelief it was the lyrica. I didnt mind tho walking around stoned instead laying in bed hurting. i did back off to 300mgs a dose then i weened off them. They are a godsend for opioid wds as long as your not cold turkey from big doses even then it will help some.
