Well it seems my insurance is being difficult again. They turned down my prior authorization for Cymbalta, which I already had approved, but my employer switched insurance, so I'm having to re-do. They want me to take something else before approving the Cymbalta again. My Dr. prescribed Effexor. I thik I'll stick with the Gabapentin for now since it's working. Lexigirl, you mentiond you're on 3600 mg a day of Gabapentin, and it's hard. How is it affecting you? Does it work but with unpleasant side effects? It seems to work fine for me, I'm just not liking taking so many pills so many times a day. I take three every 8 hours along with some other things and don't have bad side effects, yet my Dad takes 1 each night, and gets really loopy. Weird how things effect people so differently
