So i called the doc office today and they say my copper levels are normal. Dont know what to do at this point the 2700 mg/day of gabepentin doesnt stop symptoms in the heat and has been making me dizzy.

My doc said something about cymbalta but i read that it is used for diabetic neuropathy (and i am not diabetic). Has anyone else tried cymbalta for nerve pain?

Thanks

Cymbalta is an AD. A selective serotonin and norepinephrine
reuptake inhibitor antidepressant (SSNRI). I have no idea why
it is indicated for pain? Maybe because it's an SSNRI and not
just an SSRI, as my Prozac is??? You'll have to ask the Scientists.
The black box says, it may raise suicidal tendencies.

Personally I think using an anti depressant to control pain is a bunch of bologna.
If you are depressed and have aches and pains of depression, then maybe then it would help.

Glad you don't have MS and that the tox screens were good. But I understand how frustrating it is to walk away with no answers.
Hang in there..
