expect that dance to take a life time lol, neurontin (gabapentin) was a pretty good med as I remember it, didn't eliminate my headaches but eased the pain but i think it stopped working after a while not sure. The elavil (amitriptyline) made me truly psychotic lol scary stuff.
Lyrica also helped slightly but my weight gain on it was absurd and unacceptable since it only brought my headaches from about an 8 to a 6. There's about 227 million meds they can try some are amazing and some cause more awful side effects than what its suppose to fix. I still stand behind my theory that they have a book called "Doctoring for Dummies" I'm sure it just has a list of problems then lists a bunch of meds to try for that problem.
