@pfbacon I had a doctor accuse me of shopping around because I was not getting relief from the gaba and cymbalta etc. I was so taken aback I just sat there and left when he asked if he could do anything else for me.

Sounds familiar. I can’t take gabapentin or Cymbalta because they trigger my migraines and Lyrica triggers my seizures. Since my migraines and seizures are interconnected, if one is affected, both are.

I understand that. I was told that opioids can’t be helping my pain since it was “only” nerve pain. I needed to take cymbalta or lyrica. I stared at the “doctor” for a solid minute then asked him where he went to school and if he’d bothered to read my chart before he’d walked through the door.
