i started with lamictel starting at 100 mg daily and
am now up to 350mg. unfortunately, it ain't doing what
it's suppossed to do so now i am on cymbolta as well.

anyone have experience with these drugs?

my feet are fine, i can work and walk. the pain is
predominatley in my back and legs. i work and i work
hard, a very stressful job/career and then take a
percocet when i get home.

i tried accupunture (not working) changed to a far
better diet and taking vitamins. i swim as often as i
can, the percocet getting in the way on the weekdays.

what seems to be working for others. rick
