Yes but does the neurontin take away your rsd pain?

It didn't for me and all I was left with was the nasty side effects of being left in a zombie like stupor along with the rsd pain. At least I could return to work and drive when I went off that class of drugs even if I did have to deal with the pain.

You may be able to keep the monster at bay for a time as you have admitted, but what you are doing is called a drug cocktail and that has not been proven scientifically in controlled clinical studies, or has it?

Not to mention all of the other potential interactions and side effects that go along with that. I know we all have to make choices and trade offs with rsd, mine was to stay in the game as long as I possibly could.

The other question I have is how is this scientific literature any more "real" than that of Rueban's work that was once the corner stone on which all well intending doctors made medical decisions about their patients health?

Chronic pain is on that list of off label uses promoted by Pfizer, RSD /crps is simply a sub category of that.

I'm not anti-pharmaceutical, god knows I need help too. But I am more cautious and I think as patients we need to be much more diligent and ask our doctors for much more proof before we simply fill and take the prescriptions we are given.
