[QUOTE="viviennem, post: 263152, member: 31282"] I take Nortiptyline (20mg at night) for nerve pain from a bulging disc and overgrown arthritic facet joints. It has no adverse effects on me whatsoever, including BGs, and certainly zapped the pain. Before that I'd been on the max dose of Tramadol with little effect. I also take Volsaid Slow Release 75mg (diclofenac) as an anti-inflammatory and pain killer. On a good day I only need 1 in 24hrs, on a bad day 2. That combination works well for me, though I always have a tiny nagging lower back pain, worse if I spend a long time at the computer. My BGs are stable, mostly in the upper 4s and lower 5s. My GP asked me to try Naproxen instead of the Volsaid because Naproxen is supposed to be easier on the stomach and seems less related to heart problems. By the time I got to 1000mg twice a day, and couldn't stand long enough even to make a cup of coffee, he gave me the Volsaid back :D . Viv 8) [/QUOTE]
