I was prescribed this medicine for nerve pain and muscle spasms, along with my depression. Cymbalta did not seemed to b be working anymore but after taking this medicine I experienced hand swelling, hallucinations, sleeping for about 15 hours and had terrible nightmares. Gained about 5 lb in one week and I did not have an appetite. Worst experience ever.

My neurologist put me on this for migraines. I have noticed a slight decrease in the frequency of my migraines. I do not think the side effects are worth it though.

I feel like i'm in a fog all the time and have had suicidal thoughts. If you are not depressed do not take a depression medication. I feel as though doctors should use pain/migraine Rx for migraines. I have become very irritable and snappy with my husband and others around me. I am a very nice person that is not my personality. I have thought about suicide 3 times since starting this. It has made me crazy. Will be seeing my Dr. in a week for another option.

So this is why I am gainning weight. I'm taking Pamelor for migraines. I have daily headaches and Pamelor decreased the amount of pain medicine I take a little. Yes, I have days that I take less pain meds but most days it is the same. About 15% decrease. I don't like the trade off of the weight gain. Strange dreams, cotton mouth, takes longer to get going in the morning.
