hello biscuit,
I am on Lexapro due to PTSD and depression.
You probably already know that depression is
very common in people with chronic pain.I am on a prescription pain medication patch due to the chronic pain I have from my MS. By having just the patch, I can be functional and for most of the time, reasonable comfortable.
I also have MS Contin available in small quantities for days when getting out of my bed or doing daily tasks are too much for me. Too bad the MS Contin is so sedative and I have to trade in my safety and mobility for my pain control.Also, biscut, some of the docs use AD in combo with pain meds to 'potentiate' one another.. make each work together to provide better relief.
( Kind of like how so many cold remedies have things similar to Benadryl and they also have an alcohol base( like 25% so that less meds can be used with same good effect..bigger bang for the buck..LOL)Chronic pain sucks, huh?? Oh well if it doent kill ya, it will just make you stronger...
Take Care. Be Well.syringachalet
