Now how do I get off the lyrica. it has to be slowly they say but since it is acapsule I am not sure how to do without doc approval. I ahve acall into the doctor. i know she will not want me to give up on this

I started taking Lyrica 6 months ago and I seemed to have no effects from it at all so I weaned myself off of it over the course of a week and one week later I found myself in excruciating pain. So, back on the Lyrica and I went to the Dr. 2 weeks later and he put me back on meloxicam also. I'm patiently waiting for it to kick in...it was raining this morning when I woke up so I never bothered to get dressed, it's Sunday and luckily I don't have to work on Sundays. I too get swelling around the sides of my neck, neck pain which sometimes leads to a headache, doing laundry is the worst, have to go up and down the basement steps and my knees get really angry at me for that! I was reading about the guaifenesin protocol this morning, does anyone have any thoughts on that? Anyone try it?

I DO experience fuzzy thinking and sometimes bad concentration but hardly any leg pain anymore .
