[QUOTE="DammitJanet, post: 14645, member: 1514"] Well...welcome to the club nobody wants to join...chronic pain. The pain/depression cycle is a vicious cycle. The more you get of one the more you get of the other. Just checked your medications again and they started you on elavil...some have luck with that. Beware...it causes weight gain. You may have better luck with trazadone or even with cymbalta though I think that has a slight weight gain potential. I will be honest and say that I wouldnt worry about the addictive properties of pain medications for chronic pain. The studies out there show that people in chronic pain have a very small chance of becoming addicted to opiates. There is a world of difference between addiction and dependence though I have found I never even became dependent on pain medications. I feel for you. I end up on the floor often. I trip up the steps, walk into walls, fall over my own shadow. Everytime my family hears a thud they come running. LOL. [/QUOTE]
