I think my doctor is going to try something like that for me... not that, but something else... He wanted to try Cymbalta, but I am on Amitriptyline and I guess they can't be taken together.. so he is trying to find a replacement for one of the two.... so we'll see tomorrow what he comes up with. Lyrica just wasn't working. It worked a few years ago for my back... but isn't working for my feet. I'm really glad to hear that the Lexapro is working for you.
