I was given these types of drugs for nerve pain. I couldn't tell you if they worked because I was too afraid to take them. I read a few of the side effects and threw them away after rage, violent thoughts and suicide. I would rather suffer with nerve pain then take that type of medication.

I know the feeling and, in fact, am going through the exact same thing myself. I am down to the last class of drugs for a particular condition (the others having pooped out) and the drugs in this class have the worst and most common side effects (especially discontinuation-related). So on alternate days I either am or am not going to start the new drug. But I really need to -- the drug is treating a real condition that is screwing up my life.
