I tried it for small fiber neuropathy but could not take it because it made me so tired that Incould not function during the day. I was on a very low dose, too.

I did better on Cymbalta/duloxetine but no longer taking it. It helps with nerve pain, osteoarthritis, fibromyalgia, depression but does have side effects that some don’t like.

I have also taken gabapentin but it makes you tired/dizzy, even on low doses (I was prescribed 100 mg at nighttime but would wake up loopy/dizzy and I don’t want to fall).

I take alpha Lipoic acids, Acetyl l carnitine supplements to help my neuropathy and melatonin to help me sleep.
