Question With your meds are your "pain free" or " less pain'?
I want to know what to expect with the meds I am on . i am on Neurontin, 1500mg, and lexapro 10mg, and for breakthrough pain at times, hydrocodone 10mg. ( this is not every day). I have burning nerve pain. today is not a good pain day. I may go up to 1800mg of Nuerontin, but I have only been on it for a month. How long do you give your "main drug" time to work before switching meds?
Are you "pain free" or is the pain just lessened with the drugs and you are able to function with the drugs? I just want to know what my expectations should be? Should I expect to be pain free with the medicinal cocktail or just less pain?

thank you
