Then I was put on Lyrica and am up to 150 mg. twice daily. No difference.
I just asked for Cymbalta and will begin at 15 mg. at bedtime.
All this time, I'm continuing on the Trileptal cause the doctor wants to only change one thing at a time to see if it works...which makes sense.
I'm just being hopeful, but it seems as if nothing wants to help my tough pins and needles in my feet, all day and night. But I'm not giving up until I have to!
Good Luck to you!

Kippy,
Yeah.. I have been put on so much different medication in the past four months I can't keep them all straight. I am used to meds not working, it's when they cause side effects *lol* in addition to all the other symptoms that I have, then I have to drop them. So, time to say goodbye to Trileptal and see if I should go back on Gabapentin. I guess I'll have to get used to the pain, cause the headaches/dizziness/low blood pressure, etc. is really starting to stink! I hope your pain goes away!!
