Question: i think I have been prescribed Lyrica at overdose proportions. I am taking 1200 mg per day. I have all the side effects listed by The company which makes the drug what should I do. I cannot reach him on this holiday weekend.
Brief Answer:
It is overdosed
Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for choosing health care magic for posting your query.
I have gone through your question in detail and I can understand what you are going through.
At 1200mg, lyrica is definately overdosed. For most of the indications 300mg lyrica is sufficient but only in certain cases 600mg of lyrica may be required. But 1200mg is nit an option. There could be some writing/typing error. If you have side effects then ot would be wise to reduce the dosage until you get hold of your treatinh doctor. You may reduce it to 900mg and if required further to 600mg and then contact your doctor ones he is contactable.
Hope I am able to answer your concerns.
