Linkadge,
Thanks for your quick reply. I did without the neurontin last night, only taking the flexeril. It may be too early to tell for sure but I slept OK (I guess the flexeril must be doing that) and - good news - my mood is improved this morning. I do have more pain, but I can stand that better than the depression - at least while we find something else for the pain.
Thanks again!
Lucie
