Pain meds not cutting it!!

I haven't reread all the post so forgive if I cover the same territory. My Pain Drprescribed Gamepentin, for nerve pain. It has a more recognizable common name. It is an antidepressant. She changed the dose to 100mg at night. Together with the narcotics it helps.
Another side note. Don't drink diet sodas or anything with aspartame and probaably the others in it. It almost immediately, these days, causes tingling and burning in my legs. Arthritis is better too since I quite it. My cousin quit it and has come off her arthritis medication.
