Nerve pain...GAHHHH
Hello everyone. Recently, my nerve pain in my legs has become unbearable. I am unable to fall asleep because they spasm and it feels like small bugs are crawling all over me. If you can visualise old fashioned television static, that is exactly what it feels like. I have been on Gabapentin before and stopped taking it as I couldn't handle how much of a zombie I felt. I was so tired all of the time, and it wasn't even helping my nerve pain. How does everyone cope with their nerve pain??? I feel helpless and it is really getting me down. I wish it would just go away.
Hi im so sorry you are going through this and gaba isn't working. Maybe try codiene or amitriptyline or both. Or pregabalin. I hope you find something that works. Nerve pain is so freakin powerful it takes hold of you. I had never cried from pain before and I'm a mother of 2! Gabapentin helped me but i recently switched to amitriptyline because gaba was messing up my periods and making me irritable. Have you tried them gels that you put on? When i had it bad i went to my GP daily until i found something that helped!
@milliepipkins , you need something to help you, be it Pregabalin , Amitriptyline or Duloxetine. But , be prepared to get through the initial side effects of drowsiness. These can be mitigated by not taking them too late in the evening, no later than 12 hours before you intend to get up the next day. Talk to your GP about this.
