At that rate, I only have 3 months left before I can't increase dosage anymore.

This worries me greatly. I hope the pain Dr. I'm supposed to see next month will have a better plan for me.

Has anyone found that they built a tolerance so quickly to Lyrica? My Dr. acts like he has never see this before, am I the only one?
Rose, I went from 150 to 300 quickly and now hit the wall. plenty on 600 with pain. Your not alone so have a look at the nortriptyline thread for some ideas that may help.
