Has Anyone Ever Heard Of/had Success With LDN For Treating Pain?
A MyChronicPainTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’m curious to know has anyone tried this treatment and if so, how have they found it for treating chronic pain.
I know every one is different, but I’m trying to find out what ever I can about it and if people have had positive or negative results with it.
Thank you all xxx

Cymbalta
or generic dulexetine is supposed 2 help with pain & depression. I've been on it long-term & I believe it helps. Savella is also supposed 2 help with fibro. Check with doc though as overlapping meds increase similar side effects & can lead 2 serotonin syndrome. I just learned that most serotonin receptors are actually in the gut and not the brain. This was really surprising 2 me. Psych doc told me the gut is like a second brain. I was having a lot of gastrointestinal side effects. He was worried that it was an indication that I had 2 much serotonin in my system. Anyways, that has been my experience so far & sometimes I wonder if it is really the right choice. Everyone reacts differently 2 a med so it's basically trial & error. It feels like I've tried everything out there though. I can only use the brand name on Cymbalta & it is uber expensive. There is a variation of about 15% between different manufacturers & I'm so sensitive that the generic doesn't work for me. Hope this helps. Take care, Chris H
