No, please don't start thinking that! It makes sense to me that a drug that was developed for seizures would be helpful in nerve pain and management.
Believe me, when a 'miracle' cure for a condition is found from a medication not originally intended for it, who wants to argue. Thank Heaven!
But these days, the amount of pressure put on you to take things that have nothing to do with what you came in for---you know Prozac is turning out to be a bit more of a mixed blessing than we were told for so long. For a while, no matter what, Prozac would help it somehow.
On a personal note, based on my history, I might have done better with SSRIs, had I been dosed say, 2 weeks out of 4 or every other day or really heavy for one month and then...observation. But no....
Lilly was going for the big money and they wanted people on it for life. People like me build up a resistance/tolerance which is too bad, considering other ways it might have helped.
You've all heard me whine like this about Purdue Pharma, so you can collectively groan now. I would.
It's just that the frustration is so intense because the chemical properties are there, the research is there, the possibilities are there, but all filtered thru forecasting and marketing.
You know, take what works for you and run with it. I just posted this because I am so sick of a drug being unattackable for the first five-fifteen years, and then suddenly, oh yeah, your doctor always kind of thought that way too--oh, and look at all these case studies.
Oh well.
