Neuropathy - medicines

[CaraCara]

Grateful your help. What's the most effective treatment in your experience for foot (feet) neuropathy: Is it (a) amitriptyline (b) duloxetine or (c) regabalin and gabapentin (d) Asprin. If there's others please provide on the proviso it works at least 50%. Please no vitamins, homoeopathic treatment, natural treatments, hypnosis, chiropractors, acupuncture etc etc.

I would appreciate your advice on this. Thanks.

I thought I would mention that certain medication can cause or worsen neuropathy. I suffered with foot neuropathy some two or three years ago. It was dreadful,to say the least. I was told by a member on here who went under the name of Minerva that certain antidepressants can cause neuropathy. As I had been on antidepressants for a while I decided to stop taking them. I did it slowly and yes, the dreadful symptoms stopped. If that kind person is still a member of this forum I hope he will read your post and reply. He has suffered for many years with this complaint including restless leg syndrom and his knowledge is second to none. Why not post on the Restless leg forum and see if hes still on it. Good luck.

Thanks for your quick reply. Very interesting information you have provided me. I've also been on antidepressants prior to developing my feet condition. Again thankyou.
