I may try one of the patches (or half) on my leg to see if it settles down the allodynia. I did read on the Wiki site Dr. Smith attached that lidocaine (topical) is helpful for this. We'll see.

The Cymbalta gave me horrific headaches and nausea. Both the neurontin and lyrica just didn't help regardless of how high the dose. But had a zombie state with higher doses of lyrica.
If the Cymbalta doesn't work for you, why take it?

I may come off. I keeps me from crying all the time. I was never really cried my whole life but having your back and neck burn all the time will do that to you.
I may start with the Namenda first.
There is one other drug that’s supposed to have no side serious side effects called Neurotropin. It’s been out in Japan for 40 years and been tested here in the US for 10 years. Its amazing it hasn’t been approved yet. It also it’s supposed to help with allodynia.
This is clinical trial but you have to have CRPS to get in. You can request for a compassionate except to try the drug. Again, people have seen good results.
