I am trying to find something effective to treat this other than using prescription drugs. I am wondering about concocting a combination of melatonin, hops, l-theanine and gaba but don&#039;t know if it is ok to take something like this every night. Do any of you have any suggestions? Anything to avoid taking the drugs and dealing with the side effects!

Hey Folks, I talked with my doctor yest over coming off Lyrica because it didn&#039;t seem to be working. I also feel its responsible for my falls. I took another bad fall in the wee hours of the morn. I struck my ribs on the corner of my coffee table and landed hard onto my left shoulder. I never had issues like this on gabapentin. I know Lyrica is the better med but I can&#039;t take many more falls. I&#039;m so tired of living with all this pain. Its really starting to get the best of me....

I have read medical information but would like to hear for some one with PLMD. My daughter has just come off medication and gone back to her old sleep(less) patterns. She does not settle and seems to have night terrors, wakes up cranky or cries/screams for up to 1hr.

I have tried Cymbalta but couldnt take it due to side effects of extreme edema in my hands, feet and face. I have tried Lyrica and gabapentin too but cant take either of those due to unpleasant side effects.I am wanting to find out if most of you who take an antidepressant/anticonvulsant think it has helped your pain levels and what meds are best to help reduce pain besides opioids and muscle relaxants.

			<description><![CDATA[
About ten years ago I started taking Neurontin for severe shoulder pain (after two surgeries) and had no benefit from the drug. I heard something about some people having severe depression and some had suicidal tendencies! Is this true and how many people (percentage) actually have desireable results from Neurontin versus negative side effects?
