I have been to a Rheumatologist in Cape Town . He has put me on Neurotin. I am on the full dose 800mg in the morning and 800 mg in the evening. The problem is that I have gone form only getting 2 to 3 hours sleep a night to , sleeping the entire day. I am awake from around 4pm to about 1 or 2 am then wake up at 5:30am, have tea take my meds and within an hour I am fast asleep. I fall asleep in pain and wake up in pain. Has this happened to anyone else? This is madness !

Is it anticholinergic?

(I'm trying to avoid anticholinergic drugs out of concerns about developing dementia.)

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?
