Stagger, amitriptyline would work in a similar way I would imagine. Anything the interferes with brain-nerve conduction surely must have an equal and opposite effect. Newtons law? Im only guessing of course and really hope you get the bounce you deserve
Doc, very interesting link.
"I've felt similar feelings at different times - that I was getting weaker/sicker and rapidly going downhill. Changing dosages of different meds has definitely helped. One example would be the lighter "as needed" doses of gabapentin that work for me (which have been none since starting R-Lipoic last week)."
Do be honest I was a bit skeptical that a few 100 mg of gabapentin would even touch nerve pain however having been nearly med free for a few days (stopped .5 alevil last night) I doubt i may even need your small dose but will wait n see.
