Nice to see that you are posting. I agree with you on the cure and the disease analogy. When I first came down with PN, my first neuro said I suffer from "spreadical cortical depression". He put me on a high dose Tryciclic. That was my very first time on any such meds. The first 2 weeks I was having heart rythym issues from the Tryciclic,and then he put me on beta Blockers. That again was my first time on such meds. The tryciclic gave me a strong case of Bruxism,and some other bizarre mouth/jaw issues.

Not too long after I was on the Tryciclics I also developed anxiety/panic in which case the answer was to increase my dose even higher.

I wonder if this Tryciclic use didn't mess up my brain chemistry to a permanent extent. I haven't been on Tryciclics for over a year now but I still have bruxism and to a lesser extent anxiety.
