Hi Ed,
That's not a bad idea. To tell you the truth I'm not sure if it's available without a prescription here. It may well be. I still would like to try the IV's though. I've read of people having gotten long term relief from just one three or for hour IV of lidocaine or ketamine. Sometimes lasting up to three years! Dr. Goldstein refers to it as "instantaneous neural network reconfiguration." Though I'm sure it's rare, it's worth a try. Tomorrow's I'll make an appointment with the (probable) IV lidocaine doc. I can pick up a script for more gabapentin while I'm there and ask about dextromethorphan.
