Has anyone tried Cymbalta? I've been on it for about a month and my severe nighttime leg pains and my pain level has probably been cut to 1/3 of what it had been. I take 60 mgs.of Cymbalta at bedtime, with 60 mg. of Baclofen, .5 Klonopin and 800 mg. Neurontin. It's been such a relief to get some sleep finally. It's been a rough road with the pain and I finally have some relief. The pain isn't gone but now I have hope for even less pain.
Just my thoughts....

Frank - I'm sorry to hear that you have been in so much pain - I don't know what's going on with all this pain either, but I have also joined the higher pain club. I am really anxious to see how this works for you. And yes, WOW. Good luck!

I've been really depressed from my constant pain( #1 to 3) for the past months.
We talked and talked, then he suggested a " LIDOCAINE INFUSION"
On Sept 13th, I'll go into the lab at the MGH and be hooked up to an IV solution of lidocaine. It will run into my body for a number of hours. Usually by the end the central pain will be decreased, or totally gone. The pain will be releaved for hours up to months.
WOULDN'T IT BE NICE TO BE PAIN FREE FOR WEEKS and WEEKS.
I'm very excited!!!!
You might mention this treatment to your neuro. If they need info, they could write Dr. Mark Ware, Montreal General Hospital, Cedar Ave., Montreal, QC, Canada.
WOW
