My Husband Fell Off A Trailer On 11/11/14 While At

My husband fell off a trailer on 11/11/14 while at work. He herniated L5 S1 disc. The doctor did therapy, cortisone shots, pain meds, muscle relaxers, finally he did surgery and cut the herinated disc out on 10/22/15. He has been on oxycodone since surgery and Lyrica since th end od Novermber. He still hurts everyday, sometimes worse than he did before surgery. He is having alot of side effects, which I think is coming from the Lyrica. Sleepiness, depressed, sometimes cold, sometimes hot, has spells where he feels like he is passing out, weight gain, loss of sexual interest, dry mouth, and many more. Also, he has 3 stents and says he sometime has spells where he feels like he did before we found out he needed stents. is it safe to stop Lyrica immediately or is this something you need to wean off of.
