I am going to go back on Neurotin, I hate to take it it makes me very tired! Has anyone found this drug to be effective?? I am on Trazadone, and Oxycontin, and feel like i need something for breakthrough pain, I found Ultram to be effective for me along with oxyci=ontin, but I got a bad rash and itching could not take it!! Have a good day, hope you all weather is better than ours!!!
