Good Morning, I Am Weening Off Lyrica Aft. Back Opp.

Good morning, I am weening off lyrica aft. back opp. and down to 50mg along with 150mg of tramodol a day.
I have been on both for 3yrs. I am mostly trying to get off lyrica as the side effects have become a nightmare for me the worst being bad fatigue all day , having to go back to bed, then not being able to sleep at night for months because of a hypo active mind that races and keeps me awake till 2 or 3pm when I am forced to take a sleeping tab. I have researched gabapentin and targin to see if these would be better but the side effects seem similar. A friend had bad results also from lyrica and found gabapentin better.
Can you help as I can not function and have had to leave work.
