I would say initially 600mgs. wold give you that 'buzz' you are talking about...than you might have to take a higher dose to get the desired effect. Lyrica is WAY better than Neurontin in my opinion. I was on high dose neurontin for years and never really noticed any positive effects from it. Lyrica rocks, i encourage you to try it.

> Take 600 at one time? Does that last all day? If I only took it two days a week would I be able to stay on 600 mg?Yes, yes and yes. It works for me, but as you know everybody's different. You could split the dose 300mgs AM, and 300 PM...but you won't get the buzz doing it like this. But, if your new to Lyrica, splitting the dose might not be a bad idea. Most Docs won't start you on this high of a dose..probably start you on about 2-300mgs. I have taken Lyrica megadoses and it feels great, but i now take it only as directed. Good luck, let me know how it goes for you.
