Hello,

I am new to this. I have extreme burning, tingling, prickling and twitching all over my body. I am very nervous about medication (all over body twitching and restless legs started after a medication for another reason and HAS NOT STOPPED FOR A YEAR). However, I am in excruciating pain all over. I need some relief.

When I read about medications on here many people state " I had to stop due to horrible side effects" but nobody states what those were. I feel like at this point I could put up with a lot if it took away the pain. What I can't cope with is some of the more serious ones like ataxia, akasthesia, and movement disorders. Has anybody experienced horrible permanent side effects from Elavil, nortryptiline , lyrica or gabapentin?
