I have chronic pain due to peripheral nuropathy i have been taking gabapentine and oxycodone for several months it makes the pain bearable BUT the longer I use it the more is required to ease the pain. Where does it stop I cannot just keep increaseing the dosage my Doctor has changed my prescription to other pain killers but they don t seem to work very well, what are my options?
The doctor has done the right thing of changing the medication. It is suggested to start with low dose and increase it only on the advice of Doctor.Use of drugs with low dependence potential such as gabapentine, nortrptyline can be considered.Regards
