I am on gabapentin, cymbalta and OxyContin under pain management and need answers to why I am experiencing some bouts of fecal incontenance. Is this related to combination of meds. I had two unsuccessful neurosurgeries and have trigeminal nerve damage.. Thus the combination of meds of which I am getting about 75 percent relief most days. Lowest dose oxy and 1200 mg three times daily of gabapentin, 60 mg daily cymbalta.

Hi, fecal incontenence could be due to the neritis, other causes could be due to the irritable bowel syndrome, secondary to the neuritis of the autonomous nervous system.
I to my patients with such symptoms prescribe neurotropic injections for 10 consecutive days, and ranitidine 300 for a month. Thank you.
