Regina,
Very good question! I wish I knew.
The last neurologist said I was on too many meds. I disagree. I'm on two
BP meds, xanax, and an 81mg aspirin a day. I saw a program recently,
discussing how few doctors know how to treat pain. Also, some have a
fear of being checked by the state medical board. But the doctor who
diagnosed me years ago wouldn't even let me try Neurontin when i asked him
about it.
The xanax was originally prescribed to help me sleep, and it did for
awhile. The sleep helped with the pain a little. But it doesn't work
well anymore.
I am seeing a new neurologist. I will be asking him.
Kevin
