Brief Answer: 250 mg to 350 mg three times a day only Detailed Answer: Dear Friend. Welcome to HCM. I am Dr Anshul Varshney. I have read your query in detail, i understand your concern. The recommended dose of Carisoprodol tablets is 250 mg to 350 mg three times a day. You should not increase the dose as it can cause its side effects as well as sedation and sometimes hallucinations. It also have addictive properties, so should be used judiciously. For pain in neck, if you have chronically, it is advisable to get it investigated. And for symptomatic relief you should get Physiotherapy done. The combination hydrocodone and acetaminophen that you are already taking should also be avoided. You may take it twice a day only. You should get investigated properly instead of popping so much of medications. You may also use local pain killers like Volini gel, they are relatively safe. This is my best opinion for you based on available details. If you have any further query, please ask me. Stay Healthy
