Finally I got to see a new neurologist for the cranial nerve pain. It feels like there is to much pressure in my head. He asked me to tell him my symptoms. He said i will prescribe u a med for pain.
Doxepin is old trilicyillic anti - depression med it also had major reactions listed for 3 of my meds and the side affects were just about the same as my symptoms. why would that help me?

I honestly couldn't tell you. I was put on propranlol for my chronic pain, at one point. It interfered a lot with my other medications and caused my blood pressure to be so low I was taken to the ER. I'm not saying this will happen to you, but that decision your doctor made sounds pretty reckless. I'd get a second opinion before you go about taking that medication.

Yes this sounds like a potent drug, i'd be careful if i were you, good luck

short versions here in the USA medications have many different uses. examples many medications that treat depression also works for aches and pains. here in the USA Doxein isnt just for depression. it also treats sleep problems, allergies, breathing problems, aches, pain including nerve pain and neurological disorders\diseases.

i agree with amandalouise,im on high doseage gabapentin for both epilepsy and acute spinal nerve damage but it doesnt work so i use a CBD vape instead which works amazingly.

one of my support staff is on amytriptiline-another anti depressent for nerve damage,so it isnt necessarily a bad thing youve been put on one,but the fact there are contraindictations with 3 of your other meds was a bad move on his part.
