What Is The Good Alternative Of Topomax Without Caffeine ?
I have a traumatic brain injury from the Iraq war. I also have a lot of other pain, from a C4 herniated disc, C5-7 spinal fusion, lower back pain, torn muscles in rotator cuff in right shoulder, etc. My doc prescribed Topomax to help me with my pain but it doesn t help. They will not give me pain meds due to my TBI because they contain caffeine. what else can they give me?

tramadol may help for pain relief,why not consult your doctor so that he can monitor you for so many health issues.Tramadol can be taken 100 mg twice a day after meals for short period.
torn rotator cuff needs surgical repair and herniated ccervical disc removal if causing symptoms like pain in neck radiating to arms.right now you may use cervical collar for it
