I m on lyrica and lately I ve been wondering if the drug is actually causing my pain to be worse. So I kinda tested it - by not taking the pill one morning and I felt must different... but noon time came around and I took the lyrica drug because I heard you should never go cold turkey on a drug without a Doctor - So another morning I tested the drug by taking it first thing and waited to take my pain killer and muscle relaxer... strange aches and pains occurred a little after I took lyrica.... an hour later took pain killers and about half hour later the pains released itself some but I ended up with a horrible day of nerve, achy, tingling, pinching pain - along with my normal back and neck pains.... My question - is my body rejecting the lyrica?
