CW: Query for people with any kind of neuropathic pain re: meds and treatment
Hey folks :FediverseSymbol:
This is a query targeted at any folks who experience any kind of neuropathic pain for any reason(s), to any degree, and with any frequency, and who've found meds and/or treatment options to reduce, manage, or otherwise cope with the pain.
Please note that we're not asking for ourselves, but for friends who have various forms of this and seem to be having no luck getting decent or timely care through official medical routes 🥺😔
Our own experience of pain has been very different, so we cannot extrapolate anything that has worked for our own issues to neuropathic pain. Relatively-speaking, we've been very fortunate.
We are aware of what the medical organisations say, but we'd much rather hear from folks with personal experiences of any kind, particularly atypical ones that work where others have failed.
As we understand it, commonly-prescribed meds like duloxetine (or any similar SNRI) and gabapentin are often ineffective in many folks, though please correct us if we're wrong there.
We don't have any insight on things like:
- Using a TCA like amitriptyline or nortriptyline.
- Using pregabalin.
- Combining a TCA with a gabapentinoid like pregabalin or gabapentin.
- Using an opioid like tramadol.
- Stronger opioids.
- Lidocaine patches.
- Some form of cannabinoid (or a mix of different ones) in various forms.
- Non-prescription methods.
Thank you in advance for any answers 🫶 :DisabilityPrideButterfly:

My #tics related to severe #tourettes have changed since I stopped using #GabAPentin as a way to manage them.
Before they were subtle, but almost never stopped as they were impossible to fully satisfy. They were smaller movements or twitches that were very frequently.
I switched to using a higher dose of #Guanfacine which is an #adhd and tic specific medication, and now they come in waves and are more forceful, and harder to contain.
But I can actually have some peace.

There will always be #drugs as the federal government in the #usa is so slow to react to new problems.
When they update the #laws of a substance, another one creeps in until it is such a problem it has to be solved.
Take #kratom and #GabAPentin.
Drug addicts have known you could abuse those for ages yet it's only now making headlines. Another will show up after those are scheduled.
It's evidence you can't solve it with brute force. It's a wider problem with #society.

I've had my meds stolen a few times before staying in shelters and group homes.
I understand it's doctor's jobs to question stuff and make sure the patient really needs something.
However it does annoy me every time I end up going to an urgent care, or new primary care doctor to refill/replace my medications and they take one look at my mythical dose of #GabAPentin and go "are you really sure you need that much?" and I have to explain why it's that high.

I'm glad I don't have to work or do anything important today.
I was feeling really slow and loopy all day. Then it occurred to me that I had accidentally taken my morning Gabapentin twice.
Have you ever taken 1600 mg of #GabAPentin at once? Because I did.
I'm not a complete zombie.
But I did try to use my bus pass to unlock the door into my room like 12 times before I realized I needed a real key.
All because I am a dumbass and moved the alarm by an hour, and left both on.
