I think that the max dose for Lyrica is 600 mg. a day. I made the switch myself and am very happy about it. Lyrica works better for me with less side effects, but we are all different. Hope it works for you too.

I realize Gabapentin and Lyrica are similar, some people respond better to one than the other, but just wondering if anyone has any knowledge on one of these drugs being a better choice in relation to long term effects, rate of absorbtion, safety, etc........

I think Lyrica has a better absorption rate, thats why you can take so much less of it than the Gabapentin.
