Did your dr give you a script for this medication?

Two of my doctors, Pain Specialist and Neurologist, weren’t comfortable prescribing it off-label. My primary doctor has prescribed it for me in moderation with the understanding that he will not give me an endless supply until more is known about chronic use. Which makes sense, because it is not approved for chronic use. Insurance will not cover it for neuropathy pain, and it’s very, very expensive. I spent about $1000 for 30 days worth, buying it in weekly amounts.

Not yet, I called today but she’s out of the office until Monday. Any relief would be a godsend! I will post whatever the outcome is, hoping to hear back on Monday.
