A couple of questions.
Does it make any sense at all that the 2 drugs would work better in combination ?
I am taking 375mg of Lyrica and would like to increase the dosage. Does Lyrica have a max dose where the effectiveness peaks out like Gabapentin (3600mg) ?

I have the same exact situation as you. I am currently taking 3600 of Neurontin but did not get actual relief until I added Lyrica in high doses.
Good Luck
