Well I'm actually doing better now. I'm not as spaced out and confused. Pain is mild but better. I tend to focus really hard on one thing and can't multitask, but I've always done that.
I tried it and after a couple days I was having racing thoughts and just left odd. Doctor said stop immediately so I did. Didn’t work for me. I use a lotion to relax muscles. Take care
I had that and I could not take it because I take care of my husband with dementia and one of has to to be clear on what's going on
It's a horrible drug with many side effects. If you are using it for nerve pain, try gabapentin instead. If it's for mood, try something that just treats that rather than something trying to cover both mood and pain...
I wish it worked for me but I was more depressed on it and felt like a zombie.
