Default Taking Mexiletine any advice or comments

Hello everyone,

I haven't been on in a while. It was a bad summer for me. Lots of flare ups. It seems as soon as I start to get better something else happens.
I'm hanging in there though.

I started to see a psychologist to help me deal with it all. She is really good. Has spent several years facilitating groups for people in chronic pain so she knows a lot.

With my last flare up my neurologist prescribed Mexiletine. I started at 150mg now up to 300 today. He wants me to take it 3 times a day.
Has anyone taken it. If so what were your results? I did read some of the threads on here for Mexiletine. They seem very mixed in how people felt about it.

I'd appreciate any information anyone can offer.
