HI im new to this too 3/5clausagia due to back surgery and sticky root nerve.
just read in usa today only 48PERCENT in indepentant studies showed improvements with anti depressents. i cant take any of them. so dont fret over it.
i take ultram with neutron and zanaflex and have to say 80% of the time the twisting and jerking is under control and with the injections in my back the refered pain (searing burning couldnt touch it) it reduced to a numb cool area that i cant handle but is ok with covers and socks etc.
i hope this wasnt too much information, and im not telling u this is the answer for u. no one knows that yet, but giving u some names of meds u might want to ask if possible for u to have a trial test run of.
i have been very luck to get good care right from the start.
good luck
lynn in iowa
