I have been using Neurontin for a few months now an have increased the dose up to 1600 mg. Dr. Shwartzman doesn't want me going any higher then that but honestly ,I'm not sure it's really doing much for me anyway except for making me somewhat nauseaus, dizzy and tired.

I did take cymbalta and lyrica in the past and had minor side effects with each (this was before I knew it was RSD). At this point I'm considering requesting going back on one of them. Cymbalta seemed the most helpful. It is awful that they all do cause weight gain tho but it's better then pain.

Feel better


Dawn
