> Including TCAs such as nortriptyline? I vagely remember that you tried Cymbalta but it didn't help - I might be getting mixed up though.
Not sure about the TCA's as I tried them years before being diagnosed with "Interstitial Cystitis" Cymabalta only made me extremnely nervous Did nothing else.
> What effect do you get from noradrenergics such as reboxetine?I tried to look up noradreneergics not sure. If I could have taken Effexor I am absolutely sure it would have helped a lot. For the first five weeks i took it I wa calmer and more at ease than I have ever been in my entire life before or since. But I have tried to take it several times again and now cannot even take one pill without flare up. Reboxetine helps me a little , I usually took it in conmbination with Parnate, Marplan or Moclobimide. Parnate and Marplan helped me a lot for several years until they "pooped out" which is why I was adding other things to them and alternating them.

> I'm glad to hear your pain is under control. What dose of OxyContin do you take? Does the OxyContin affect your depression? Interestingly, a few babblers (eg. Elizabeth) have taken buprenorphine for chronic pain + depression and found it helpful. Ever tried it?The oxycontin is prescribed by my p-doc who wants me to take it even if I do not have pain as an antidepressant. It does help some but just enough to maybe help me get through a day without being too emotional or something. No I never heard of buprenorphine I will look it up and discuss it with my p-doc. Thanks.
