General & Family Physician,  's  Response
Maximum allowed dose for Lyrica for any indication is 660mg per day. Since you are near dose limit and still not appeared to be relieved, change of medication may be required to manage your post on neuropathic pain. Amitriptyline may be considered as an alternative with a starting dose of 25mg once daily at bed time.
