I know different meds have been brought up in various threads but I thought it would be good to just do a general thread as opposed to specific medications.

So, other than the DMDs, what meds do you take to help with your MS symptoms?

For me, I don't do well with lots of medicines and only take a few - actually 2. I take Celexa and Neurontin. Originally, Celexa was to help keep me calm with the pain. But since depression/anxiety are common in MSers, I'm sure it helps with that. I take Neurontin for nerve pain. For me, it has done wonders and I only get breakthrough pain every so often. I'm on a low dose and have been for years.

I have Ativan for when the spasms get bad but I fight taking it and try to work through the spasticity without it. I know, bad girl. However, the pain from the hug and spasticity in my legs is increasing so I think it's time I reconsider this and will be working with my neuro at my Nov. visit. Since I am an extreme light weight, Ativan usually does the job. It's a benzo, just as Valium, Xanax, Klonopin, etc., but it doesn't knock me out like others do.

What do you take for pain, spasticity, etc.?
