Thanks for your advise.

The meds have made me nauseate a lot recently, vomit, slow my digestion, make me lose appetite and increased my constipation. I haven't been able to pass a stool for nearly a week.

Anytripiline gives an extreme dry mouth and recurring nightmares through the night.

I saw the pain doctor on Thursday, he was supposed to change my meds on the day to something more tolerable but he hasn't done it yet.

This new pain i am getting just below the base of the neck has started occurring just a day after I received the left C6 nerve root injection. Is is a coincidence? I don't know. Could the doctor perfirming the injection have struck a nerve? I don't know. Prior this injection I didn't feel that much pain. The pain is stabbing, intense, pins and needles.

I understand that I need the meds to cope with the pain but this does not fix the underlying problem of nerve compression which shown on the MRIs. On top of the there is also facet joint inflammation.

If I take the meds during the day I will feel like a vegetable and won't be able to do much.

Thanks.

Alfred
