Nortriptyline?
Has anyone been on this for nerve pain? This is what the doc put me on and although it does help me sleep and works as an antidepressant, it seems to do little for nerve pain? I've been on it close to three weeks now. If this doesn't work, I'll have to try the neurontin again.
I'm on so many drugs it's crazy! Going back to the surgeon on Monday to talk with him and get new xrays and have a pow wow about the nerve pain. I can handle regular head on pain but nerve pain makes me go out of my freaking mind.
