diabetic peripheral neuropathy
"I have been taking Pregabalin (Lyrica) for over two years now.  Pregabalin has helped me with the nerve pain in my feet.  It does not take all the pain away.  My feet still sting and burn on and off everyday. One time, I decided to slowly stop taking Pregabalin and take the generic drug, Gabapentin and my feet flared up by a 1000 percent.  I asked my doctor if he could prescribe Pregabalin again.  I have had zero/none side effects taking Pregabalin but recently I came across reading peoples "hellish/nightmare" experiences trying to wean and stop taking this drug. That scares me and I do not want to be dependent on this drug or any drug. I am going to slowly wean myself off and find other ways to deal with my nerve pain. Prayers needed!"
