Yes, I know several people taking the much higher doses. Also, getting your blood levels checked often is very important! If the Doctor is NOT calling for this to be done around every 3 months, it is up to US to remind them!
Also, I have never heard of Lyrica working or being used for spasms
I thought it was only for nerve pain. (I could be wrong) Typically Baclofen and Zanaflex would be more beneficial for spasticity. Of course, not for everyone.
Electrocuted, have they tried anything else for your pain? Maybe you would be better off on some sort of Narcotic? I mean, if it's as bad as you describe
Best of luck though, finding something!
