I don't understand it either, but that's what they said, i even saw the
pictures and they looked like little pimples. The anti-deppresant I'm
taking is amitryptiline, but i don't rember the name of the nerve one. I
just started last night and i took the amitryptiline, and boy did it
knock me out. First time I've gotten a decent nights sleep in a long
time. I took the nerve one this morning and it made me feel a little
loopy but I can handle it. So far no other horrible side effects, I've
still got a months worth of lupron in my system so I'm takeing the add
back to that over all I'm getting tired of all this medicine, (5
differnet meds in my system) but what can I do but hope it works this
time... and then keep going back to the doctors if it doesn't until we
find something that does. My pain isn't any better except when i take
the vicodine but they told me the other stuff takes a little time to
start working. Thanks for the info,
-Angie
