Prescribed Pregabalin, Duloxetine, Nortriptyline, Naloxone, Gabapentin, and Buprenorphine for neuropathy, none of which helped at all. Very bad adverse reaction to Naloxone, the horrible “side” (think “direct”) effects of which I struggle to describe. I was on my knees praying to God that it would wear off. A few days ago was prescribed Buprenorphine which, to my great shock and dismay, was, conservatively, three times as bad as Naloxone and forced me to go to the ER, where they did nothing helpful, however they did succeed in performing a useless chest x-ray, CT scan, and blood test, all clear as I knew they would be. An overnight hospital stay, then back home with the recommendation from my GP that I contact the Mayo Clinic where I might benefit from a team of experts looking at my case. Not sure why my medical team here is not a "team"? Communication breakdowns everywhere.
