saw my shrink yesterday and he suggested I might want to look at cymbalta as a combination for zoloft and lyrica.  The good thing about it is that it does not cause weight gain.  I am going to try to find out if it is generic later today.  After all, I am not a millionaire.  so maybe there is hope for me and my goal.  I don't like lyrica because it makes me very foggy in my thinking and maybe the cymbalta would be better. The pain has been pretty bad for three days in a row.

Hi...I haven\'t been participating on the website for quite awhile. I have been suffering with phn since Aug. 11th 2006. I have it on the upper left side of my face and scalp which includes my eye and ear. I totally gave up on all the lyrica, antidepressants and anti convulsant drugs because I felt they were\'s doing anything for me. I only take a half a pill of percoset(low strength) when I get severe pain. My dr. is checking out the Botox method...I think we all need a miracle...deal with it as best as we can and hope the scientists get busy and find some REAL help for all of us....Dodo
