Medication for Tingling, Burning Sensations

I HAVEN'T SPOKEN WITH MY DR YET ABOUT MEDS FOR THE SENSATIONS BECAUSE I THOUGHT I COULD DEAL WITH THEM WITHOUT ANY; HOWEVER, THEY SEEM TO BE INCREASING. I HAVE SENSATIONS ALL OVER MY BODY; , NOT IN JUST ONE CONCENTRATED AREA! I HAVE THEM IN MY HEAD RIGHT NOW AND I JUST WANT TO CRY! I JUST WANT SOMEONE TO SIT AND MASSAGE MY HEAD AND MAKE IT GO AWAY.

DOES ANYONE ELSE HAVE SYMPTONS LIKE THESE? I KNOW SENSATIONS ARE COMMON, BUT ALL OVER THE BODY SIMULTANEOUSLY? I GET ELECTRICAL SHOCKS ALL OVER TOO. SINCE TAKING LYRICA, THE ELECTRICAL SHOCKS HAVE DIMISHED SOME, BUT THE BURNING SENSATION IS BECOMING UNBEARABLE AS IT IS SOMETIMES CONSTANT AND ALL OVER!

HELP ;(

I'M SORRY TO HEAR OF YOUR PAIN AND BURNING SENSATIONS. dOUBLEVISION LISTED SOME GOOD DRUGS THAT CAN AUGMENT THE LYRICA.

I TAKE CYMBALTA AND IT DOES HELP AS DOES NORTRIPTYLINE. I ALSO TAKE TRILEPTAL FOR FACE PAIN.

I HOPE YOU CAN FIND SOME HELP SOON!!!

GENTLE HUGS,

I TAKE LYRICA FOR MY BURNING SENSATIONS. BUT SINCE YOU ALREADY TAKE IT AND IT ISN'T HELPING WITH THE BURNING YOU SHOULD CONSULT YOUR NEURO TO SEE IF MAYBE YOU SHOULD INCREASE THE LYRICA OR HE/SHE CAN OFFER ANOTHER DRUG TO HELP.

LIKE ALEX SAID THERE IS NO ONE DRUG THAT FITS ALL SITUATIONS. THIS IS DEFINATELY SOMETHING THAT YOUR NEURO SHOULD ADDRESS. I KNOW THAT I CAN DEAL WITH THE PAIN AND THE PINS AND NEEDLES BUT CAN NOT TOLERATE THE BURNING.

HOPE YOU FIND SOME RELIEF,
PAULA

There are various medications for Neurological pain. Some take it away some lessen it. I would definitely talk to your Doctor. There is no one drug fits all situation. Each of us respond differently. Sometimes it is trail and error. I do not know if you have been diagnosed or not but either way you can treat symptoms. I did not know this and suffered needlessly.
