People, please do not take drugs for years that are not helping you! Especially ones with horrible side effects.
This can only ruin your health more! Anything I take I give it 3 months max. If not working I stop.
Tessie63: Always read up on any drug prescribed to you. In this case I quickly found out that Neuropathy is not even listed as a possible use for it. The drug is for anti-depression!

Just so you know, this is the only drug that took the horrible pain away for me when it first happened. I was aware that it was an antidepressant and I was also aware of the side effects. I always google any drug I use. It was my only alternative at the time and it gave me relief from the pain. A lot of the drugs that are used for neuropathy fall under an antidepressant useage. . Now I have weaned myself off of it and the numbing and pins and needles are worse. Apparently there is nothing one can do about this now but lecturing me on learning more about what I’m using does not go over well with me.
