It's quite frustrating to me, as I am young & was relatively healthy before all of this hit me.

I would say that I suspect the medicine, but I started out on Neurontin/Effexor and over time have switched to Lyrica/nortriptyline, and the issues have not changed, so I really don't know. I have read that it is a symptom of the CRPS itself, but I'd prefer to blame it on the meds. I just really don't know.
