Sally m and others,Cyclopes beat me to the punch again ,
I who new better let a Dr, who was nuttier than I,talk me into
talking Prozac after one week I was not happy with the chickens
I was seeing on the ceiling..I knew one of my son's friend's was
on this stuff,I grabbed him pulled him down looked him in eye he
was a teenager then. Now this kid was very depressed he walked
around smiling now. I whispered do you see things,yes he answered,
that kid was having hullinations,as was I,but he was to young,but
getting a kick out of it,I was not. I told the Dr. never again,had to wean off.
I talked to his mother,like I told him I was going to do. None of that
should be given to teenagers.or me.
Most of those meds make you swell up,in hands,feet and gut..My Neuro
did not want me on Cymbata, and Mrsd right on. about the others. Lyrica
broke me out in hives..Tramador made me and Bob so dizzy we were down
more then up..I went back on neurontin 3600 a day I feel like it effects
my balance,but Polyneuropathy does as well..My body yells I need it,
lot's of rehab. Now
I was a ER Truma Nurse for 25 yrs. My pain got very bad but after 3 yrs.
I went on Morphine small doses 3 times a day,your not going to feel like you
do after major surgery,you have to pick it up walk in into the pharmacy.

Now Sally is this the first time you posted,if so please tell us about you,
we are no Neuro's,please every bit of the prersription papers you don't
understand ask your Pharmacist,,or Mrs d helps more then many,make
the Dr. read his little I don't know what I'm talking about book. I
can tell you Neurontin makes me gain belly weigh me!!! But like Kat said
everything is different for others,just like PN.

Bob and Hey Bob,I know your Wife is a RN. I was will tell you, RN but
STAFF nurse don't know about you HEY JOE, nurses have to PUT UP

on me and shattered my arm..We were 2 nurses short,and when they were done with meI had to wake up 2 tired nurses and tell them they were not tired anymore..Yes we did take it out at times ,to many in our family..Which
