Hi, I'm Mentally Drained

Hi I’m having orthopedic surgery in 16 days and I need to taper off of Lyrica or at least to 50 mg prior to surgery. I requested a tapering schedule from the nurse but she said to call back the week before surgery. I don’t feel like that’s enough time to taper safely without crazy side effects. If anyone could offer their experience with an accelerated taper, and in particular the Lyrica prior to and after surgery while needing to also take hydrocodone, I would greatly appreciate your feedback. This all makes me very nervous. Thanks for reading!
