Quote:
There were three daily treatment plans: gabapentin, nortriptyline, or their combination. All patients got to try all three treatments over three 6-week periods. Overall, more people reported good pain relief when the drugs were combined:
64 per cent reported moderate to complete relief with gabapentin
75 per cent reported moderate to complete relief with nortriptyline
81 per cent reported moderate to complete relief with the combination

No mention of CRPS or RSD, just Neuropathic pain. My dad called me tonight from the east coast all excited. I hated to have to tell him I can't take the meds.
Interesting results though, perhaps some options for those of you who aren't allergic like me and or haven't tried this combination.
Wish you all well.
