I have changed to Amitriptyline 10mgs per 24 hrs taken at bedtime (11th April). So far this is working with no adverse effects.
As far as the lyrica doses being high... I am on Lyrica 450mg per day (150mg 3 times a day) and it doesn't seem that high to me, as far as what my Dr. has me on.

I am on amitriptyline as well, and have found some benefit.

Best wishes to you all! Lyrica has helped me with numbness, tingling and allodynia.
