Withdrawal from lyrica and oxycodone (w/response)

[Guest guest]

<<Hi everybody, my name is tina, i am 44 and have been suffering from

neuropathic pain syndrome for 4 years now. At first, i had to take 21 (!) pills

a day prescribed by a reknown pain doctor, and as things turned out to get much

better, i am now on 25 mg of lyrica 3 times a day, 25 mg of oxycodone a day and

60 mg of cymbalta a day. How could i best taper off of lyrica first, then of

oxycodone? I am so afraid of paws!! It was so horrible when i weaned myself off

of 5 mg of the oxys and nearly took 3 months until my receptors get used to cope

with 5 mg less... Thank you very much in advance for your help. A painfree day

from tina!>>

** Hi Tina,

I'm not sure how much help I can be. There are too many differences between

what you have available where you live and what I am used to here. Do you have

buprenorphine available? If so, have you considered it short term? My

understanding is Germany is under the mandate of the EU regarding supplements

and potencies. If this is so, I don't know how I can help.
