Hi. See what works for one with meds may not for another. It can also take a combo of meds. That has helped me the best. When my condition first started I would try sperate things but either did not give it time or stopped with side effects. After a couple procedures that went badly I went back on the meds and stuck through the side effects of course I am not talking the horrid ones but the ones that could possibly go away and also am working up the doses. Plus I am on a combo for both pain but mentally. Are you currently seeing a pain doctor? If not I would suggest that and also for me a psych has really assisted. It does not take away the physical pain but helps me cope with it much better. My psych is also very interested in my condition so that helps.
