What Is The Suggested Dosage Of Lyrica For Nerve Pain?
I am leaving the VA system and going private on April 1. I have severe nerve pain and my body is in a constant state of being electrified. This is due to disk at c4 and l4. I was going to has surgery but decided to wait until my insurance starts. I take LYRICA at 150mg twice daily. I have been researching dosage and I am curious to know if the dose can be increased. I have been bedridden for a few years because of this. It took the VA forever to get to where they will do surgery But I am going private. what dose is available.
