What other meds have you tried ? Are you able to tolerate Neurontin or Cymbalta ?
Have you tried a variety of narcotics, or just one ?

Hi finz!
I was on 2400mg of Neurontin, but found that it severly impared my memory (renting the same DVD, telling the same stories, etc.) so I slowly weaned myself off. I currently take Percocet, 30mg Baclofen, two hypertension meds and Lidoderm patches. I also have a TENS unit, which helps greatly. I am trying to get a new pain doc, my current one just doesn't seem interested in the fact that my meds make me sick on a daily basis (I won't be graphic here). But since it's been a year from the w/c injury, nobody wants to get involved until my permancy hearing in December. My current pain doc just doesn't listen to me (about the nausea, etc) and is not willing to change my meds to something I can better tolerate. He makes me feel like a junkie. I wouldn't wish this on my worst enemy! I just want my life back! Thanks for your interest and your reply!
