Rob, I understand exactly what you mean about the pain. I am in excruciating pain, 24/7 also, given it a thought of taking the cowardly way out. It's terrible when you have no quality of life. I currently take 400 mg of Lyrica twice daily, 60 mg of Cymbalta, once a day, Vicodin three times a day, and 50 mcg Fentanyl patch every three days. This still doesn't control the pain. I had considered titrating off all my medication, but the withdrawal is a bitch! I don't know what to do. I am so stressed out from the pain that I have started clenching my jaw and grinding my teeth. My dentist ground my teeth down to relieve some of the pressure. The pain makes me totally exhausted. I will be contacting my doctor this afternoon about pain management. I am desperate.
