I hope you find relief. I tend to react badly to medication as well, but I've tolerated noritytripline very well. It's worth a shot. When I was switched from gabapentin to Lyrica, I was told Lyrica was the new, more concentrated form of gabapentin, so it had less side effects. It may be something to consider. I didn't find it helped and I gained a ton of weight rapidly.

I also reacted badly to tramodol and was really nervous when I was put on Norco. I had side effects, but the trade-off was worth it at the time. I was also put on perocet and I did not tolerate it well. I eventually went off opiods because I didn't find much pain relief on them.

I second the suggestion to start on the smallest dose. Once, a doctor told me that technically the starting dose of a med was 50 mg, but she always started patients at 100 mg because it never works at 50. I instead started a 50 and it worked, too well. We all metabolize meds differently and you know your body best, so ask the doctor to start on the lowest dosr, even if they don't think it will work that low. It's there for a reason.

I hope you find relief soon and I'm so glad the ER visit went well!
