I take it as a gentler for of cymbalta for neuropathy. I started off on 25mgs, and built up gradually to 200mg. No weight gain. However, the nerve pain is now kicking in halfway between doses. My GP. wont let me take any more.Certain things trigger pain also, like hot, ie if I get hot, take a hot or alcoholic drink, or when I eat, (not always ). Next week I see about spinal stim, and two weeks after that I go to see my Gastro intestinal specialist. I have had loads of investigations this past year, and I get the final decision next visit. Lower colon is not working and I have to take handfuls of helpers, and I have another prolapse in those regions...YUK...to add to collection, which will have to be treated surgically, before they decide how to treat non functioning rear. Aint it wonderful. I think they will have to remove the non functioning bit, and then they have suggested a sacral stimulator, to help with muscle functiion of intestine. I could end up like an all singing and dancing robot.
My gorgeous grandchild is a year old on Saturday. She is the sweetest little thing. I cant believe how the year has flown.
