I have a pain apts next week and am going to ask about other as needed meds. I thought my new combo of meds neurontin,cymbalta,klonopin,serequel but it is not now. So frustrating but I am not on full doses. Hate having to worry about every factor in life. Trust me I went a year plus with no meds other then maybe a few vicodin through the year of this cause I tried so many and don't want more problems if they were not helping. Then it got to the point a few months ago where the pain is just too much and my life is so small so I started to do procedures which made me worse and now meds. I have had hgh liver problems and at what time they though pancreatitis but it was before my rsd and not my liver results have been better but it is a concern but at the same time when one pain comes on strong it seems like I care less about that. Ugh thanks again

Hi Daniella,
Just looking over what you wrote, I'm very sorry that your pain is so severe.
It doesn't seem to me, that you're on any kind of real "pain" med.
Neurontin can help (I've never used it, but it seems an adjunct to opana or methadone, from what I know),
Cymbalta, is an anti depressant, that has some pain relieving qualities.
Klonopin is basically long acting valium.
Seroquel is an "Atypical", and you should google this one. It's very over prescribed for "off label" use, for instance, sleep. It's NOT a sleep med, it's for BiPolar disorder and severe mental illness.
I know a few people who had some REAL issues with it! Be Very careful with Seroquel! I've seen people wake in the middle of the night "act out", and not remember half of what they did!
It seems you need to speak to your doctor, and be sure that S/He realizes that you are NOT getting sufficient pain relief!
I'm Not a doctor, but it seems that something on the order of a stronger pain med is indicated.
I hope you get some relief, soon!
Pete
