Yes, I just spoke to him right now. I got the injection on the 9th of this month and the next couple of days noticed chest tightness. I still would get migraines. I woke up a few times with chest pain. He also prescribed Prampexiole for the restless leg syndrome and neuropathy, but that caused pain on the left side of my chest. I only took two pills and then quit. It did seem to help. On Thursday I spoke to my Psychiatrist and told him how much pain I'm in and he prescribed the Gabapentin and it helps, but again I'm getting chest pain. It seems like it has increased. The Neurologist said that the Emgality doesn't cause chest pain, but I looked it up online and it says it causes chest tightness. This all started with the Emgality. Now everything I take besides my usual medications such as Tylenol, aspirin, Prampexiole and Gabapentin seem to increase my chest pain. I haven't taken Gabapentin all day and I'm in so much pain. And I'm on pain medication for chronic neck and back pain but that stopped working because I've been on the same dose for 16 years.
