I do think your right about the meds and how everyone is different. I so understand your frustration. When I first started the meds for neuropathy I could barely lift my head from the side effects but did nothing for the pain. I have always been weird. Even in the hospital the meds did nothing or just kept me in a weird state. That is why the doc has me thinking of the spinal cord stimulator. I think they advertise so the patient will ask for it. I know many people who go to their psych and I even have and ask to try a certain med that I have heard about. I do agree though but I know docs often push meds they are being sold by the reps.Well hope you had a nice dinner. I'm "special" too when it comes to meds. I wish I could be special in a different way.
