There is a current thread about this in PN Tips, Resources, Supplements & Other Treatments

Nortriptyline + Gabapentin found most effective

Hi Doc
Happy Birthday again!

interesting you should mention that
as my last monthly visit to my pain
specialist and on that visit
i had my eldest child Saraeve 32
suffered her first grand-maul seizures
April 30th 2003 and has been on all
seizure meds including neurontin
she having been a all one could think of
even removing part of her occipital lobe
and in the end a VNS Implant permanent
bilnding in her right eye
got off subject
he did mention neurontin
i opted not to take the neurotin
in fear of side affects
however because no side affects
with this new drug in my system
i might give it a try
and oh boy have i learned much
about the mysterious brain
she is an inspiration
self published book of poetry
earned the title "slam master"
again off subject
bottom line
i will talk to my daughter
and doctor next visit
as she too understands cocktail
meds to do the job
yes i read up on it
happy to see fibromyaligia
is not perceived to be
to be in our "head"
thank you for all you offer
in the way of making a
difference

someone who cares
