Hello,
Sorry if this post duplicates an earlier one -- I think I wasn't registered earlier...
I'm taking Dexedrine (80mg daily divided doses), lexapro (20mg. morning), and methadone (20mg. daily) for severe depression and the trashcan diagnosis, "atypical facial pain". The facial pain is neuralgic -- a fierce burning. I can somewhat liken it to an extreme niacin flush that hurts like hell and never abates without sleep or narcotics.
My question: Are there any aminos or vitamins that can help alleviate this kind of pain?
Any that will enhance the action of the drugs I am taking? Replenish whatever they deplete?
Anything compatible with lexapro that might synergize it or otherwise improve mood?
Finally, I'm looking to combat two side effects that have become the bane of my existence. Taking lexapro with dexedrine makes me sweat like hell. just ooze sometimes, and also creates a full body heat (just feels like the body is radiating heat all over). Anything to knock this out?
Anything to combat the way Methadone decreases sexual capability?
I know thats alot of questions. I'd just appreciate whatever insight anyone might be able to provide on any one of them.
Thanks much,
John Constantine
