I also found that by giving a bolus of the medication (i.e., daily dose all at once) the medication was very much more effective.

You are exactly right.
My Dr had me start out slowly with Lyrica to watch for side effects. I had none. Started out with 75mg 2x a day, went to 75mg 4x, then to 150mg alternating with 75mg 4x a day. After a while I found more relief with 225mg twice a day and have kept with it.
Lyrica has allowed me to go from 400mg a day of Tramadol plus two Vicodin down to 150mg of Tramadol and one Vicodin. Hope to slowly cut out the Tramadol entirely.
