So I've been dealing with this chronic pain condition for seven months now, which is not much compared to most of the people on this board. I'm having a lot of depression, which I'm guessing comes with the territory. I'm also bipolar which I'm sure doesn't help the situation. I'm on neurontin, which I've read can cause suisidal thoughts. I would NEVER do that, but the thoughts are there. Had anyone else delt with this. I've also been really angry since this whole thing began and I've never been an angry person. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Are you seeing a pain specialist for your chronic pain? If not i would ask my doctor for a referral. Are you on cymbalta? A lot of people say this medication helps with depression and chronic pain. Any time you are in chronic pain that is not being treated with properly it can make you depressed. You are defiantly not alone. I hope you get so help soon. I wish you all the best.
