Howdy. It's actually helping the pain some -- neuopathies and radiculopathy and myofascial pain. I still take tramadol and soma regularly, but the lamictal has reduced the intensity (which I initially called "tendency" -- the darned work issue).That said, I have edema, considerable constipation (not from tramadol), consequent weight gain (about 4% of my bodyweight), and then the word/spelling/memory issue. The latter seems to have gotten worse. But still, not as bad as Lyrica, on weight gain front, and cognitive impairments. It also hurts my legs and feet to stand still for more than 15 minutes, but I assume that's the edema, combined with my autonomic condition.
I'm looking forward to hearing from others.
Take care.
