@jlk12 I hvw tried them all after prolape op 3 years ago and have terrible nerve pain around my pelvis and rectum. Tried Duloxetine sace me out duting the day been on gabapentin and am weaning myself off it, it doesnt help with pain. I am on Trazodone for sleep and I do get a goods night sleep but sedated the next day. Read that Gabapentin is only good for diabetic pain.

I was on duloxitine (60mg) for many years, along with trazadone and mirtazipine. Did nothing for the pain. Per my doctor, pain will trump any medication like this. The trazadone does help to sleep, as does mirtazipine, which acts as an appetite stimulant. I've lost about 20 lbs since the pain makes me really nauseous. Unfortunately, my chronic lumbar pain makes it impossible to get a good solid night sleep. I've do take 15mg of tramadol which takes the edge off somewhat, but it's considered a lower type of narcotic. Gabapentin 300mg 3x, made me quite loopy during the day so that was stopped. Good luck to you, as I understand the total frustration.
