Can this low dosage help with burning pain? Would I be better off asking to tirate the Nuerontin faster? Initially it was my GI doc that put me on Lexapro to help with IBs and the brain gut connection, so I am wondering if I would be better to go with Elavil for nerve pain. I hate this constant burning, and I can't sit down without pain. I have had to take off work for months as I am a guitar and piano teacher and i have to sit.
I know some patience is needed, but my Nuero wants me to take 600mgs for 4 weeks without titrating, I think I need to be increased a bit faster.
Thoughts?
thank you .

I have had PNE for almost 4 years. I contacted a dr in France who referred e to MN. The clinic is MAPS in Mnneapolis. The dr name is Antolak I think is the spelling. I had my first injection a month ago and had over half a month of pain relief. I had my second one today and am expecting good results. I will have the 3rd on in April. Believe me this has been my answer. Phone number for the clinic is 1=763-537=6000. This is best I have felt in years. MY hubby says I am like a new person. Good luck. Sandi
