Thanks...I'm thinking I may be at point where I need this kinda cocktail. Just wondering if the side effects mellowed out after a month or two. Looks like they did for you! Good luck.

Yes, they did mellow out. Try to find a private practice doc who will take the time to really listen to you. My cocktail may or may not be exactly the one for you.

There are so many side effects to all of those drugs. All are addictive. Then the cycle of ‘try’ then ‘titrate’ can be long (years) while you find what works for you. Tramadol caused nightmares and long term Gabapentin caused (irreversible) tinnitus.
If you don’t get a skin reaction the best we have encountered is skin patches at the lowest dose for your body weight.
I used Norspan. That is a brand name for Burenorphine. Amazing pain relief. Has a terrible reaction (for me) of nausea with the tiniest amount of alcohol. One patch lasts a week.
Everyone is different. I agree that reading researching and advocating for yourself is a good approach.
