Post What Are some of the good medications for CRPS (with little side effects)?

Hi all,

Unfortunately I'll have to wait until next week for any relief. I'm about to run out of pain medication. I can't get a hold of my doctor, who's out of the office till Monday . And the Risk Management people at the hospital never opened the claim like they were supposed to, so no new doctor s will see me without approval from the claims department .....So I figured until then I could get some ideas to talk to my doctor about.

I'm currently only Oxycodone 5-325 (Tylenol) only
Which I think would work better at a stronger dose as it doesn't last very long. I also have to take 2-3 of them to get any real relief.I am also still waking up in the middle of the night with pain and have to take more. Needless to say I am also exhausted on top of all the pains...

I have ruled out Gabapentin as I can't handle the side effects.


So what combinations have you tried that i can talk to my doctor about. I am afraid of anti-depressants as Lexapro made me suicidal when i took it YEARS ago.
