Question Question about Neurontin/Amitriptyline
I do not fully understand why I am taking these two medications.

I know that it is supposed to "manage the pain" according to my neuro, but what does that mean? Does that mean I will always be on these meds? Does that mean that if I stop taking them, the pain will get worse? Are these meds truly "blocking" the pain?

Sorry to be so naive, but my neuro was very vague in his explanation.

Thank you so much for your responses.
