I had trouble when I wanted to stop taking it; I felt very jittery and strange nerve tingling for days. It helped me but caused too much sedation. Have a friend who takes it for neuropathy with great results and has no side effects at all. She has an improved mood since she started it, we both noticed. I hope it helps you 🙂

I don't have migraines (thank goddess). My issue is primarily nerve pain (I had shingles). CTyankee Nov 2020 #4

I will. Getting old is depressing, so having a lift in mood, even from a pill, is pretty good! CTyankee Nov 2020 #6

So glad you are finding something that works. Tech Nov 2020 #5
