I amon my 3rd month of treatment for Bartonella, with doxy rifampin and zith...
I have tried Lyrica, Topamax and amitrptyline. Along with others for pain. Topamax helped... but caused horrible stomach side effects. Amitriptyline ReALLY helped but i am gaining weight over night.
I have horrbile head and jaw pain... with body pain all over.
I am so tired of trying different pain meds. Does anyone have any suggestions of what worked for them?
I go back to my doctor this week [confused]

Have you tried Cymbalta? That actually does not affect weight for most people. Some even lose. I can't tell you if it works bc I have only been on it for ten days but I have similar symptoms.
