One thing that really helped me was changing my anti-depressant to Cymbalta.  That is the one that is advertised "For the pain of depression."  It has some pain killing properties too.  Your doc might be more receptive to trying that first b4 going to Fentynl.  I am on the max dose and believe me, it really helps.  I once got the idea it wasn't doing anything and stopped it.  I ended up in be for a week with pain.

Hugs,

Thanks!  I just went back on neurontin the other day and it seems to be helping.  I am excited!  I tried cymbalta but had some side effects I hated.  It didn't really seem to help my pain either.  It's wierd how we are all so different!  Thanks for writing and hope your continue to feel better!
