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 Peripheral Neuropathy. Tried Lyrica, Cymbalta, Gabapentin, ALL OF THE SERATONIN REUPTAKE INHIBITORS.
They all make me deathly sick. I'm bad with pills or they're bad with me!
Pain in arms and legs. Ride my recumbent bike every day. Do Yoga stretches that's I'm still able to do. Have to use a walker so I go outside and take a "walker" walk when the weather is okay.
Lots of Vitamin B and Alpha Lipoic Acid.
It's a real bummer!
