Just a quick update - I've tried Cymbalta over the Christmas season in lieu of Effexor, and did not like it. Now on a trial of Pristiq (50/50 with Effexor), and my mood does seem to be a bit lighter, so will find out if I am going to switch over from Effexor (300mg/day) to Pristiq (which is supposed to be like a reformulated Effexor, works in the same way, etc), and see if this helps me cope with the pain. Will let you know how it goes...

. I've had MP since spring 1997, but was misdiagnosed as a psychological problem until seeing a Neurologist who properly diagnosed the condition. Until last year, was on 2400Mg Gabapentin (Neurontin) per day, with a side dish of Effexor and and Risperdal to round up my daily intake. Strong Pain Attacks has resulted in severe Reflux and lower trach muscle herniation. I am now taking Lyrica at a much lower dose than the Gabapentin, however still have no pain control over "breakthroughs". |
