Thanks to the Facebook page "Cymbalta Hurts Worse", more people are able to educate themselves about this drug. Personally, I think it should only be used as a last resort after diet, exercise, safer meds, and treatments have failed.

If you are one of the few lucky ones that have had luck with it - that is wonderful! I still like to caution as many people as possible before they… read more

Naproxen we have been told that this tablet is not good for the heart and to stop taking it. Is this true.

My mother in law has strong chronic pain from sciatica. She was prescribed by gabapentin, hydromorhpone adn tilenol-3. From gabapentin she became very drowsy and sleep most of time of day.

The CDC has put out a guideline that suggests no one individual should receive more than SIXTY mg. daily. weather it be OxyContin ER or oxycodone or a combination of the two.
Has anyone been affected by this yet?

Not a shy question a bit prograssive but maybe refreshing to know a lot of us stugles with it. I myself lost 90% of my sexlife most of the time my neuroipatic pain is to high to even touch eachter. Or my pundendal nerve flares up and no presure is possible .Or my pain meds make me nump and pulls my libido down to zero.

Has anyone tried serotonin (5-HT) for pain management? Serotonin is available on line and lots of information in the literature about serotonin playing role in pain modulation. If you have tried it would love to hear from you.

I have tried Kratom, poppy seed tea, CBD oil & MM. Still looking for alternative to pain meds

Thanks!
