Vic,
I take a very low dose of Lyrica myself. I take 50 mgs of Lyrica 3 X's a day. It helps with the burning pain, but also I take neurontin. Thery seem to compliment each other in combating nerve pain.

Whenever I have tried to cut it down or actually get off of it completely, the nerve pain gets to be way too much.

Ali,
I don't know what to say but that is bad that the phramacy or rather, the chemist as you call them over in England anyway, got the doseage wrong like that. Good thing your Mum caught it. She is on the ball & a very good thing she is. Kudo's to your Mum.
