In reply to Lyrica for benzo withdrawal trial, posted by reefer on April 25, 2005, at 7:38:13
Okay people i will post daily on how this works or not works. I just obtained a 56 pack of 75 mg Lyrica. I took two a couple of hours ago and it took care of the residual withdrawal i had and gave me a feeling of being a bit drunk in a good way. It says to start with 150 mg per day the first week. So i'll take 75 mg in the morning and 75 mg in the evening and i think i'll try lowering the clonazepam from 0.5 to 0.25 on Thursday. Then i will raise the Lyrica to a maximum of 450 mg/day if needed, but i will try and use the lowest possible dosage that keeps the anxiety, restlessness and nausea at acceptable levels. I will not use excessive doses "just to be on the safe side". If you have any questions or want me to include any special information in my daily reports dont hesitate to ask!
