I share your concern. I have the bottle of meds in my cabinet. I’m preparing to start it. Dreading it….but I have to try it, before my insurance will cover Lyrica.
And, Cymbalta may actually serve me better. Idk.

I’m ambivalent. I’ve read so much about it. Different people have different experiences. What I know is that my intermittent burning is excruciating and I can’t tolerate it long term. I’m scared and looking for answers, since my only diagnosis right now is Vitamin B12 deficiency.

Klonapin does help, but that’s a short term thing. If my burning continues, I’ll need something daily. I wish there was something to take on as as need basis, that’s not a Benzo, since I feel great on days there isn’t burning.

When do you think you’ll start and what symptoms did you have trouble with?
