My twitching reduced 90% also on the gabapentin-nortriptyline combo. I was on that combo for almost year before I tried stopping the nortriptyline. I went 2 months without the nortriptyline and it was a terrible mistake. Burning all over the place and I couldn't function well.

This is more of an art than a science. Take your medication for several months and find some relief. Then try tweaking or reducing medication levels. I used to say that I will never take medication of any kind.....well this condition sure changed my mind pretty quick.

question...when you guys say "my twitching reduced 90%" did you mean you have 90% less twitches or is the intensity of each twitch reduced by 90%

right now the nortriptyline isn't reducing my twitches AT ALL (I still have 100+ twitches per minute everywhere in body all at the same time. However, the overall intensity of my twitches (how strong they are) has gone down.
I was hoping the nortriptyline would reduce the number I get, but it hasn't. I am wondering if gabapentin will actually reduce the number I get.

madisongirl,

so.. would you say gabapentin does a better job at controlling the twitching (and maybe parathesias) than controlling the burning?
And that nortriptyline is the med that does a good job of controlling your burning?
