I'm currently on Gavapentian and I tony works so/so.. My Dr is trying to get me to try taking antidepressants. She says there is a lot of success in pain reduction with them.. I'm also going through a semi clean break up involving a child. So yes there is stress in my life.. What I want to know is how did that affect you and do they actually help with the pain? And do they mess with your head?
I take lexapro daily along with half of a zanaflex in the day with it and a whole one at night to relax my muscles to help with restless legs and insomnia. I do notice if I forget those meds in the am, by the pm I am panicky and have to take xanax. So, for me they work and it does not cause me drowsiness only taking half of the muscle relaxer during the day.
Let me know if you try it and if it works for you. May you have a peaceful nights sleep.
I am going to check out your Zanaflex. Never heard of it yet. Have terrible RLS. Thank you
