My last bout to the hospital the doctor prescribed Ondansetron to relieve the following.... dissolve 1 tablet 8 mg on the tongue every 8 hours for nausea or vomiting. I guess it might work some on sleep for a limited time as it is to settle a person down. I have high anxiety due to many under lying problems associated with neuropathy. Had it for seems like 1000 years. As stated in a post weeks ago, Gabapentin worked for me till I wore out the high dosage and it quit working for me. My pain doctor asked me to go on a low dose OxyCodone 10mg. Believe it worked for me not only for pain but putting the pain away while I slept. DONE SIDE ... now hooked and as did the Gabapentin it required more and more to relieve the pain. It does work but the end result can be just as painful trying to eventually get off it all totally. This with 2 high does of tamsulosin is enough one person would thing to completely put a person in never never land. The Doctor who is to preform the procedures, on an initial call could not believe how well I talking to him as to all the meds I take.
As stated some time ago I have found doctor that hopes getting all this behind me... No sugar rest of my life and surgery on both legs for small fiber compression. This is a price have paid for over 40 years of severe Neuropathy. If a person wanted to get on these meds I personally will say the pain is at a low tolerance most of the time. But the idea of being hooked or dependent on the meds is real.
I will certainly convey to all later on after these surgeries as to how good it has done to date. I am so excided for the out come that I would settle for just half the pain and not ever being on the opiates ever again. note: Tamsulosin is a generic of Lyrica
Like I said to end this..... I would take just half pain as to what I go throw on a regular 24 hour period. and being not dependent.
