There are different THC gummies that help with nerve pain or mood.
For Opioids, I liked the Fentanyl patches. My stomach did not take pills well.

I take the gabapentin and I I've taken cymbalta before you need to ask the doctor but with pain meds and the gabapentin, cymbalta she will be sleeping all the time. I think gabapentin sucks the life out of you all you want to do sleep. I did so much better with norco 10 and cyclobenzapr I had a life now it's antidepressants or blocks that don't work I've said it before we people with pain are cash cows for the doctors and the hospitals with a very bad out come for us money money for them and we are still in pain.
