Re: Pain Management - Neurontin/Cymbalta/Cheryl

[Guest guest]

Hi Cheryl-

Cymbalta is supposed to be very good for both pain and depression, also maybe

help with

sleep. I tried it but had horrible side effects immediately; I was realy

dissapointed cause

my doc had built it up as some great thing that was gong to help all my symptoms

improve.

I also was on neurontin, ya know I don't even remember why, it is a seizure med

but I think they were giving it to me as a mood stabaliser (I was hospitalized

at the time

and it was years ago so that's why I'm so foggy about it)- Neurontin also gave

me bad side

effects after about two weeks of feeling 'spacey' I started to feel like I had

'flu', but no

fever, and my doc took me off it right away.

Hi Cheryl

I am on the same dose of cymbalta as you and I am doing better with it,I can for

sure tell if i miss a dose.

 as far as Neurontin, I had gotten up to 1500 mgs a day and the spasms were

better but my thought process were affected and my memory got really bad.

 So i don't take the neurontin anymore.

It is an anti seizure med. but when given for muscular problems it acts to

disrupt the chemical connection between nerve signals and muscles.

a jummbling effect so that the muscles don't contract so much.

 My husband has epilepsy and couldn't take it due to the fact he was like a

zombie on it.

I HAVE BEEN ON BOTH CYMBALTA, NURONTIN, ALSO BEEN ON ELAVIL, CELEBREX

AND MANY MORE MEDS AND NEVER HAD ANY RELIEF. FOR ME THE MOST RELIEF I

HAVE HAD WAS WITH THE FENTANYL PATCH AND OTHER PAIN MED. THEN I CAN

WALK. NOTHING ELSE HAS HELPED.
