What you are experiencing is likely central post-stroke pain, a type of neuropathic pain. Since prior treatments haven't worked, several generic medication options can be discussed with your doctor: 1. Gabapentinoids (such as gabapentin or pregabalin) to calm overactive nerve signals. 2. Tricyclic Antidepressants (like amitriptyline or nortriptyline) to help block pain pathways in the brain. 3. SNRIs (such as duloxetine), which also modify pain signals. 4. Anticonvulsants (like lamotrigine) for resistant cases. Please consult a neurologist or pain specialist to safely tailor the right medication and dosage for you.

I am currently taking Daxid, Primox, Cresar 40, Zemer, Ondero, and Voglister. Since taking these medications, I have experienced a complete loss of libido and have become overweight with a BMI of 30. Could these symptoms be side effects of my current medications, and what steps should I take next to manage this?

Yes, your symptoms can indeed be side effects of some of your current medications. Specifically, sertraline and nortriptyline (often prescribed for mood or nerve concerns) are well-known to cause decreased libido and weight gain. Additionally, glimepiride (used for diabetes management) can contribute to weight gain. Your other medications, telmisartan, linagliptin, and voglibose, are generally neutral regarding these side effects. Please do not stop taking any of your medications abruptly, as this can be harmful. Instead, consult your healthcare provider. They can safely review your regimen, discuss alternative medications that are weight-neutral and have fewer sexual side effects, and help you create a safe management plan.
