Does anyone take Lyrica and/or Cymbalta for nerve pain? I'm having a terrible time with trigeminal neuralgia -- I went thru a bad time with this over 10 years ago, then it got a lot better for all those years, but about two months ago flared up with a vengence. Pain is unbearable. Doctor prescribed Lyrica about 3 weeks ago (can't say that I'm seeing much of a difference in my pain levels) and added Cymbalta to it this week. I'm wondering if either one of these meds have helped anyone here. So far I just feel really tired most of the time and still in a lot of pain. I keep going the best I can but it's really hard sometimes.
I'm scheduled for an MRI today on my head, neck & shoulder. The doc thinks I may have a pinched nerve or something along those lines. Ugh is there anything worse than nerve pain?
