Medications : If not narcotics-what?
My rsd is out of control. Now each time it has spread my Dr. increases narcotic or goes to the next strongest narcotic. I fear dependence, but he assures me that it is important right now to get RSD under control. Each of the meds I am on i have been on higher doses but too many side effects.
Lyrica 250mg(300 too out of it),cymbalta 30mg(higher too many side effects), lidoderm patch at night, just started Methadone. Have read methadone is good for RSD/chronic pain. Have tried darvocet, vicodin, valium, kadian, oxycontin and spreading and pain continues. I don't want to add more meds. Each of these supposedly does a different function to help control RSD so I take them.
If you are not on narcotics what are you on? Are you still in pain?
Could everyone list the medications you are taking right now?
Thanks for helping. momof4
