Hello,
I read carefully your query and understand your concern.
Lyrica is a medication that is commonly used to treat sciatica pain.
I suggest to start with 75 mg twice a day for 3–7 days.
If required, increase dose to 150 mg twice a day after 3–7 days, to a maximum of 300 mg twice a day after another 7 days.
Hope my answer was helpful.
If you have further queries feel free to contact me again.
Kind regards!
