Very, very likely, if you have such a large range (frequently a drug dose), 
you should think of doing a (shifted log?) transform of your data initially. 
Try to do a residual plot plot(result(nlme)) might work first to check for 
this.  Maybe even plotting (0.001,0.01,...) would be more useful.

Otherwise, you could always use pred() manually and do a trellis plot
with some (log+x) transformed data.
