I wish something simple like Gabapentin worked for me! It messed with my cognition. All 5 of my siblings have settled on Gabapentin, but for some reason I had to be different.
Have you found things that give you temporary relief? It sometimes makes a difference if we can get a break from the pain, even for a short time. I know too well how chronic pain affects mental health. It's a vicious circle for me with pain and depression. I'm thankful for a therapist I can talk to every other week, and for doctors who understand and are willing to work with me. We can't do this on our own.

Hi Jim, I couldn’t take Gabapentin, Lyrica or Cymbalta. I’m very sensitive to medications and these weren’t for me. Someone on here recommended taking R-Alphoic Acid 600 mg 3 a day. Also to take PEA 600 mg 2X day. I am on my 2nd month and feel it is starting to help. Do some research on them and see what your dr says.

Aspercreme with lidocaine really helps me sleep at night. Also use lidocaine patches for my back. I can only take Tylenol arthritis as antiinflammatories affect my kidneys. Also use the aspercreme during the day to calm things down. I have had side effects from everything other than the gabapentin so I'm stuck with that. If not happy change your neurologist. Mine has done nothing for me other than biopsy to confirm small fiber neuropathy. Also have L5 neuropathy due to a bad surgery. Waiting to see my new Neurologist but have to wait 2 months.
