I got put on a low dose of it, and this is the third day I've been on it, and this morning I'm light-headed and dizzy whenever I stand up. Which is fine, coz it's working and masking the pain and dizziness is far preferable to the agony I've been in, but being unsteady on my feet's going to be a problem when I go back to work next week. Have you gotten dizzy when yr on it? I'm hoping this is just something that will pass and I'll be able to continue on it...
That sucks about yr sciatica. It sounds similar to trigeminal neuralgia in that it's a nerve thing as well, and when I just googled it, it says it is a form of neuralgia, so no wonder it sounded similar to me...

Did yr sciatica appear out of the blue or did something set it off? With trigeminal neuralgia, my doctor told me they don't know what causes it, but I've pretty much got a strong suspicion that it was a tooth extraction that went wrong and ruptured my sinus that kicked off my first attack a few months later...
take care of yrself
