Taking a Liquid SSRI (Sertraline) for Erthromelalgia and Lansoprazone for the side effects but it is still ripping my stomach to shreds.

Who prescribed you those two together? If it was your GP then surly they should have been aware of possible contraindications that this may not be the best 2 drugs to be used together (they don't seem to be from your message). I used to take Nexium when I was first diagnosed but have since been switched to omaprazole. No problems but am not sure why you are taking the SSRI. Any chance of getting a 2nd opinion?

That was actually the third opinion and everybody told me the same thing. I really didn't want to take an SSRI but was assured it would help my feet and it really did and the dose needed is so low it doesn't alter moods. So all was good until my stomach started playing up, now I'm in agony so I dread taking the SSRI for my feet. I'm between a rock and a hard place.
