Also, I feel like a freak for not being able to handle this mentally. I'm literally crying and yelling almost all day. U all are so calm and normal. What med is safe to take with nortriptiline and GABA that will decrease my mental status. I believe my mental state is causing new neuronal connections to be made that are increasing my pain and causing me to fall further mentally and I need to get control of it. I have an appointment for biofeedback on Thursday. Hopefully that helps, cus I saw two pschycoligists and they were useless to me. They just asked me questions about my family life and tell me to think positive wtc. Which makes sense, but I need someone to guide me thru or teach me how cus I cant. So hopefully biofeedback will do that.
Anyways, I really appreciate everyone that posts suggestions. I am taking them to my dr on Tuesday. U all deserve a medal for ur efforts

Remember everyone is different, but I'd say go slow & see how you tolerate the med first. It says here online, to do 300mg x 3 daily for a starting dose. As I remember, my neuro had me start at 100mg x 3 daily. It made me feel light quite light headed. At 300mg for a dose, I think I would have stayed on the couch. LOL. Anyway, I'd say see how your first day goes at 100mg x 3.
