Has anyone tried hypnotism for any addiction/problem and did it work? I am thinking of trying this for nicotine addiction as a last resort.

So what exactly is the problem? Do you still have dental problems the meds are treating and if so what are they? Maybe try another doctor to help you taper.

Thank you for your reply. Sorry you are going through this. I don't have a good answer for your but I will say that nerve pain CAN improve with time and when the irritant or whatever's causing it is removed. Don't give up! Maybe try a new different doctor and try something like hypnotherapy or something more natural for the pain? I am not saying meds are bad but if you want to try something different.

Otherwise I hope someone else on the forum who reads this has some hope for you. But please don't give up and have faith that things can improve. New medications/treatments are always coming out. But I feel for you and hope things improve soon.

Sounds like you are going through a tough time and need the medication to help with pain. I wouldn't be so hard on yourself if that is the case. You can always wean off and find a doctor to help you do that when the time is right. It is common to be dependent on any medication you are prescribed and a good doctor should work with you to wean off if you want to. There are also pain clinics who work with people just like you who have chronic pain and help you deal with it and the medication, etc. Most hospitals have a pain clinic that you should be able to attend. I would not see it as karma at all - no one deserves to be in pain.

I hope you can find some help on here and continue to feel better. Do not lose hope and stay strong like your display pic says. I wish you the best.

Thanks for your reply I need a better doctor that's for sure.....been referred to a specialist dentist but there's a cost....about£6,000 just because a dentist botched up. Had to get a loan which is extortionate in interest rates..hope manage to get
