Description
How it Works
Symra works by binding to the alpha-2-delta subunit of voltage-gated calcium channels in the central nervous system tissues located in the brain and spinal cord. This binding inhibits the release of several neurotransmitters, including glutamate, substance P, and norepinephrine, which are involved in pain signaling. By reducing the release of these neurotransmitters, it slows down nerve impulses in the brain and affects chemicals that send pain signals across the nervous system.
Usage
Symra is primarily used for the management of neuropathic pain associated with diabetic peripheral neuropathy and post-herpetic neuralgia. It is also used as an adjunctive therapy for adult patients with partial onset seizures. Additionally, it can be used to manage fibromyalgia and neuropathic pain associated with spinal cord injury. In some cases, it is also used to treat generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and peripheral neuropathy.
Side Effects
Like all medications, Symra can cause side effects. The most common symptoms of its toxicity include somnolence, confusion, restlessness, agitation, depression, affective disorder, and seizures. Patients who take high doses of Symra or overdose on the medication may experience these symptoms. Since there is no antidote for Symra overdose, patients should receive general supportive care.

Cyberchondria
The truth is that when we’re sick, or worried about getting sick, the internet won’t help.
According to Wikipedia, cyberchondria is a mental disorder consisting in the desire to independently make a diagnosis based on the symptoms of diseases described on Internet sites.
Why you can't look for symptoms on the Internet
If diagnoses could be made simply from a textbook or an article on a website, we would all be doctors and treat ourselves. Nothing can replace the experience and knowledge of specially trained people. As in any field, in medicine there are unscrupulous specialists, differences of opinion, inaccurate diagnoses and incorrect test results.
