BURNING!!!!!! Help!
Question:
For immediate relief, neurontonin, avoid any of the others as MAO inhibitors and tricyclics can be hazardous when using SSRI’s. As a last resort I would recommend marijuana. The problem with the last one is that you have no control over the dose or quality. As well it is a powerful drug. > morning, I woke up with a terrible burning sensation all over my body. My
legs and back were the worst, with my hands coming in a close second. What you are describing sounds like neuropathic pain and is exactly what I feel. Along with itching. The only way to control the pain is through CNS drugs. I wish you well Thomas

I remember reading that niacin was a possible treatment for this.

I have an antidote about Niacin. A friend of mine takes 6 tablets a day of Niacin. He forgot to tell me he built up slowly to this amount. At the time I was playing Doctor with my restless legs syndrome long before I knew what restless legs was all about. First time I tried it I popped three. It started in my head and eventually down to my feet. The heat was incredible and I turned red like a lobster. I experienced a Niacin Rush. I called him and my friend laughed his head off. I had asked him if I could possibly be allergic to the pills. He never told me ahead of time about the Niacin Rush. And too this day he gives me a bad time about my frantic call. The pills still sit in my bathroom. Does anyone here take Niacin? Dora – Hide quoted text — Show quoted text -Mona wrote: > I remember reading that niacin was a possible treatment for this.

Hi all!! I hope you all had happy holidays, and are feeling ok. I am having some problems right now. Last night, or should I say early this morning, I woke up with a terrible burning sensation all over my body.My legs and back were the worst, with my hands coming in a close second. I felt like I had been thrown into a pit of fire, and couldn’t get out. My hands also had a numb sensation, and when I got up to try to walk, my feet felt like stumps. I could walk, but only if I did the wall-walk thing. It was the worst pain I have ever exerienced. I also had the headache from hades, and felt dizzy. I took a couple Neurontin’s, a total of 1200 mg, and finally got back to sleep. Before I went to bed last night, I had taken my Topamax, and my Prozac. When I got up at around noon today, the burning had lessened a little, but the numbness and dizziness were still just as strong. I ate some breakfast and went back to sleep, because I could not seem to focus on anything. I slept till 6:30 p.m. My hands and feet are still numb, and my whole body feels like it is "buzzing", and burning. The headache is still there, and so is the dizziness. I feel like I am going crazy! I know it is the MS, but does this sound like an exacerbation to you all? Or maybe just a fluke thing (hopefully)?Help!!! Angel
