The neurologist I first saw who prescribed the 600 mg of Gabpentin told me that she wouldn't prescribe more than 450 mg a day of Lyrica. I am on 800 mg and am in considerable distress. It's a good thing that I don't have to work. I am not in agony, but constantly have a painful throbbing of my genital area and anus. Even at this high dose of Lyrica. I felt like telling the doctor that if she didn't prescribe higher than 450 mg, she was leaving her patients in pain. I don't think she has ever dealt with PN or PNE.

Bathsheba, I'm sorry lyrica isn't taking your pain away. Often a combination of drugs works better than one by itself so you may want to ask about adding some additional pain medication. Check out the pain medication page for more info.

I haven't heard of valium causing constipation. Doctors routiney prescribe 10 mg three times daily. What dose are you on?
