That is why I'm going to try this radiofrequency rhizolysis procedure so that hopefully I will be able to get off of all of these meds or a least cut down drastically.

Is this a safe procedure?

Honestly don"t have the energy... I have become kind of a hermit lately... If the weather is nice I sometimes sit on the stoop.

I can still do it. Just take a Pre-workout supplement. I take White Flood. Check it out.

It's not just about having the energy... It's also about not wanting to do anything that might set the pain off.... After a while pain kind of consumes your life...

What about the folks who are under control with the pain with medication?

Anyone on 800mg Carbamazepine?

I am taking 400 in the morning and 400 at night. This does makes me drowsy.

Maybe I should take 800 at night?

I tend to do better when I take half in the AM and half in the PM... Might wear off or something... Check and see what your doctor says though.. YMMV

Whats the purpose of XR then? Well my blood tests were very good so there is no way I would OD.
