> It has taken me 4 1/2 years to come up with this combination of drugs to treat neuropathic pain.
> 37.5 mg. Effexor and 2 1/2 mg. Dexedrine, morning
> 600 mg. Neurontin 4 x a day
> 60 to 75 mg. Remeron at bedtime 15 to 45 mg. Restoril at bedtime AND 60 tablets 5 mg. Methadone a month -- to use in any manner that I like. My advice is to keep trying one antidepressant after another. Plus you need to mix and match!
HiWhats the cause for your neuropathic pain ?
Why do you take such a low dose of Effexor besides relative high doses of oder drugs ?
I tried Remron and it knocked me out at only 7.5 mg at bed (I know that sedation could lessen at higher doses but not for all). Neurontin at 2400 mg/d - do you tolerate this ? It causes al ot of dizziness and sedation. I am sure it lasted a long time getting a trial mit methadone ?! Which doc would prescribe it for
such pain ? Did you tried other drugs like:-Tegretol
-Trileptal-Elavil and other TCAs
-SSRIs-Oxycodon
-Tramadol
