Oh also:

I don't think I do any more repetitive hand stuff than other people. Obviously I'm on the computer often, all that. But the pain and tingling feeling is equal in both hands, and all the hand doctors I saw and x-rays and etc had no explanation and all of the physical therapy I did did not help, in fact sometimes it felt worse.

All I know is then I got put on trileptal and it helped...NOT 100%...But it helped. And now that I'm weaning off of it, slowly, I am in a lot of pain. And this doctor absolutely refuses to keep me on it, even though it seems to be a common prescription based on what I'm finding online.

Why she'd replace it with an antidepressant is very confusing to me, and kind of disturbing.
