Hi Matthew. I’ve not been on here for a while. I still suffer from CPSP. I’m currently on 550mg pregabalin and 50mg of amytrypytoline.
I tried different levels of gabapentin last year. I tried the maximum 3600mg but quickly came off it as wasn’t so much pain, more numbness. I couldn’t feel my hand or foot.
I know it’s been mentioned on here about hypersensitivity to pain. I’ve had an issue for a while with sores on my skin. I’ve seen doctor a couple of times but she’s still not sure if it’s infection or allergic reaction to something. Currently applying daktarin( again) and dermol and a steroid cream. But the stroke pain has definitely hightened the pain on the most badly affected areas on my left calf, ankle and achilles. It’s hard to know how bad my stroke pain is exactly due to said sores.
I’ve actually just requested a higher dose of amytrypytoline. I’ve tried different levels of pregabalin and this is about as good as it gets with that. Has anyone had any success with a combination of pregabalin and amytrypytoline? I believe the maximum level of amytrypytoline I’m allowed is 80mg unless anyone knows any different?
