1. How quickly can I get off the nortriptiline 30mg
2. I need a med that works for almost everybody and that works fast. What should it be? Keep in mind that I am 30 and will need meds for the rest if my life ( don't want to run out of options too soon) also, don't want to mess up my body even more.
How does anybody deal? I think bad thought everyday... There's no escaping this head to toe pain.

Hi Canagirl,
I would suggest you speak to a PM Consultant about Lidocaine or Ketamine Infusions - whichever would be most suitable. Lidocaine in particular has been used since the '60s and is recommended for SFN.
I have Lidocaine Infusions, and take Oral Ketamine to treat severe Neurological Hypersensitivity and accident damage pain, and the two combined reduce my pain by 50%. They are non-addictive and have few side effects.
Dave.
