Have Nausea, Heartburn, High Blood Sugar, No Appetite And Anxiety After Stopping Lyrica

My Medicaid insurance in CA has decided NOT to write me a script of Lyrica after being on the medication for 3 years.
I feel so lousy after withdrawal of 9 days. Nausea, heartburn, high blood sugar, no appetite, anxious, hot/cold feelings, want to go to heaven with my husband who died this summer, P. Neuropathy pain BAD, crying, nightmares. Diarrhea. Probably more. Insomnia.
How do I. Feel better SOON. Help me.

Hello

Thanks for the query

It looks like you are facing withdrawal from Lyrica. I advice you the following
1. Take an appointment from the doctor and explain the withdrawal symptoms, there is not harm in giving a smaller dose and then tapering it off slowly
2. For the nausea, heart burn and reduced appetite, you could take Tab Pantodac DSR once daily before food
3. It looks like you are also having post traumatic stess of losing your husband,I strongly advice you to seek help from a psychiatrist as soon as possible. Therapy groups also help

Please dont ignore any of these symptoms, seek help immediately

I wish you good health

Regards
