Tracy, My current meds are Lyrica 100 mg three times a day, MSContin (morphine) 30 mg twice a day, MSIR (immediate release morphine) 15 mg for breakthrough pain, and Klonopin 2 mg at bedtime. I failed Neurontin because it made me too tired and never really did anything as I never got to a substantial dose. I failed Cymbalta because it gave me TRUE double vision-running into walls, actually seeing two of everything, not just blurry-I had to see with only one eye. Initially, the doc tried me on Ultram (Tramadol) 50 mg and that was useless and constipating as cement. No real pain relief whatsoever. I can't do tricyclic antidepressants (amitryptyline) because I am already on Wellbutrin and Lexapro for depression and they don't mix. My doc was also concerned about giving tricyclics to me because I have a history of depression and you can fairly effectively kill yourself with them (to be blunt.)
Unsure if this helps or not, but keep an open mind-what works for one may not work for another. The goal is finding what relieves your pain.
One piece of advice-take daily laxatives and stool softeners until you see how any of the meds effect you. I need a ton just to go every couple of days and I waited too long initially and almost had a bowel obstruction. All of these are constipating.
Let me know if I can help
