I am currently on ampitryptiline for pain and sleep - helps me get back to sleep when I do wake up and seems to quiet those tingling sensations.
Like many of us I do not want to medicate because of nasty side effects...but I am looking for some help with pain. I am seeing my GP on Wednesday...and he is quite clueless. We are taking a family trip in a couple of weeks and it requires quite a bit of driving - and driving through two mountain passes. Elevation changes kill me - like weather changes - it feels like my hands & wrists are being crushed, my knees burn and hurt - it's hard to recover. Sure wish we could just teleport !
Anyway - I have been reading. Can Tramadol be taken just for pain (not as an ongoing med) ? I have read there has been some success with low dose Naltrexone (with minimal side effects) ??
Any ideas ????
