I hope the intensity of the pain declines over time. It should pass. What would happen if you took the lowest dosage of nortrityline that resolves the pain and then taper from there?

I have been on Neurontin twice and both times I ended up in the hospital with severe pitting edema. I never thought that one would have to be in the hospital for edema, but they wouldn't let me go. I really don't want to try it again. The same thing happened with Lyrica, but not as severe.
Do you think I should go back to 25 mg of the Notrip and stay there for a week?
