my brain injury was caused by a prescription drug interaction. Doctor gave oxycodone and subutex together for pain and caused precipitated withdrawal resulting in brain injury.
I have constant muscle spasms in neck and head. when I sleep, I don't sleep well, my hands go numb, I wake up shaking, I have night terrors. when I am awake, it feels like I am always about to lose my mind and I don't feel connectd to the world. the first few years I had horrifying headaches and those are gone but now the other symptoms don't budg. it has also caused complete impotence, I hate to say. I almost never leave the house and am scared to death after six years of this I feel like I am just waiting around to get alzheimers or dementia. I started mark's vitamin regimen a few weeks ago and am hoping something will happen. please help me. |

markneil,
Tell us more about your injury that caused the pain you were being treated for. Your symptoms may be due to more than the drug interaction. Your posts have a very limited history of your condition. Often, the obvious cause is not necessarily the major cause.

I had a hypertensive crisis caused by drinking beer with an maoi, which is a very old and dangerous antidepressant which interacts with a substance caused tyramine which is found in beer and causss hypertensive crisis. doctor's think I miht have had a thalamic stroke which caused post stroke pain.
that's when I went to the pain management doctor who agreed but put gave me the very dangerous concoction of ocycodone and subutex. the precipitated withdrawal was brutal and I got progressively worse for months and months with head pain becoming unbearable and the other symptoms I mentioned coming over time. have constant tugging and pulling of muscles in face and head and neck burning pain in arms, blurry vision, tittinus, muscle spasms and twitches. I get dizzy sometimes when I read. the list goes on and on. feel hopeless |

Why were you taking an MAOI ? Which one ?
Have you tried Lyrica or gabapentin or other meds that help with nerve pain and/or seizures ? Are you on a brain health nutritional regimen ?

the MAOI was for depression.
I tried lyrica and nurontin and had bad reactions to both. got very confused and actually had more pain. started your recommended vitamin regimen two weeks ago. I guess i'll have to wait and see if that helps one doctor said I had nystagmus as a result of what happened. I have just lost all hope. I really appreciate our responses. |
