Hi canagirl
Pleased to hear you're finally getting even a tiny amount of pain relief. Groucho's right - you've got to give the medication time to work. What's easy to forget is that medicine taken in oral form acts differently to say IV or injection. It has to go through a process of absorption and then act at a cellular level before it can have any effect and even at a cellular level it takes time for the body to accumulate enough to provide consistent efficacy.

It's good you have your doctor's appt. today and he can sort out your meds. and doses. Stick with it - I'm hoping the nortriptyline & gabapentin combo work for you.
