Guest guest Posted May 23, 2002 Report Share Posted May 23, 2002 Speaking of Medications... My girlfriend takes Tylenol3 (I think) and something else. But it they make her very drowsy and puts her to sleep almost instantly. She's also worried about them becoming ineffective after a while and having to go on " harder " stuff. Do you guys have any advice?

It's horrible to feel so miserable. Hang in there. We are here for you. You are not alone. I have a couple of questions for you, if you don't mind. Are you taking anti-depressants? And are you taking any strong pain medications? Either or both of these might help to break the pain cycle you are on. I guess it would be helpful to know what your current treatment is, so that people here don't suggest things you're already trying. And you will get a lot of suggestions. :-) It seems like we run the gamut in treatments. Everyone here has tried pretty much everything, and something different works for each of us. I'm finally getting relief from taking Zoloft and daily Tylenol 3 doses. And my doctor is looking into starting me on Zanaflex, a muscle relaxant. Please, anything I can do to help, let me know. Take care, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
