I have bilateral neuropathy. I have several other conditions, one of which I take gabapentin for. My neurologist recently prescribed tramadol to compliment the gabapentin for dealing with the nerve pain. Despite the fact that I found the tramadol to be effective in reducing the progressive nerve pain, I had to stop due to an adverse reaction. Today my neurologist called in a Rx for fioricet to try instead. I do not suffer from migraines. I cannot find any info online about taking fioricet for neuropathy. Any thoughts on why/how thiscdrug would be effective for dealing with nerve pain in my legs?? Thank you in advance for your time and expertise,Chronic nerve pain sufferer
Hello,Thanks for the query.Floricet is a combination of codeine with acetaminophen and caffeine. It is a good analgesic but gabapentin is the better choice for neuropathic pain. There is nothing wrong in supplementing floricet with gabapentin for pain relief.Wishing you good health.Thanks
