My insurance company denied Savella, and now Cymbalta.
I don't really want to take either med, because I read that neurontin, along with these kind of meds interrupt brain synapses. I need all of mine, but I am willing to lose something to regain my mobility if these drugs actually help. What do you take? Does anyone take something holistic that works? Would I be better off with medical marijauna? |

This seems to be an insurance issue?
My pharmacist is good at suggesting generic options that are less expensive. |

Regarding medical marijuana, there are some issues that come up--it's inconvenient to use in public. If you plan to travel out of state, it can be a problem. If you are on SSI/SSDI or plan to apply, you will be lacking needed medical documentation.

See if you could try Gabapentin as a Cymbalta substitute.

The only one where it wouldn't be an issue with edibles is it wouldn't be an issue in public. I wouldn't tale pot brownies to Nevada and the SS issue is complex, but I won;t get into it unless someone has questions.

Hi- i take generic cymbalta. I agree w others that it sounds like there's an insurance problem. Call your insur. They should tell you why they wont cover savella or cymbalta. My dr said savella is expensive and not avail in generic. There is a generic cymbalta that is reasonably priced. Sometime the insur co needs the doctor to explain to them exactly why the medication is required for you. Id steer clear of med marij until you've pursued the other presriptions. Cant imagine dealing w drug sniffing dogs at the airport. Haha |

Info about medical marijauna.
http://www.cnn.com/2013/08/08/health...mind-marijuana I found the above on the RSD website, the doctor specifically mentions the effectiveness of MM on neuropathic pain. |
