I take 1800 gabapentin and 60mg of cymbalta. The gabapentin alone was pretty much useless no matter how many times they titrated me up to the dose Iā€™m currently at. The cymbalta was life changing. Something I did accidentally stumble across though was the cymbalta is more effective if used it in conjunction with a high dose of melatonin.

Gabapentin does help me but I only take it at night. Escitalopram cut down on the pain a lot too.
