I use Nortriptyline 25mg. It does not make the numbness disappear completely but I don't really notice it much anymore. I did recently have a full knee replacement and that trauma brought the numbness back. That was almost 3 months ago and it is subsiding again now.

You know, that was what I was on a few months ago and I had been using it since I got neuropathy about five years ago. It worked well for the pain but it didn’t seem to do anything for the pins and needles and the numbness. I weaned myself off this drug because of all its side effects but now I find the numbness and stiffness has intensified. I’m debating going back on it again to see if it will stop the numbness from increasing. I’m caught between a rock and a hard place. I hate the side effects. They include dry mouth, constipation and eventually affect a persons cognitive skills. The last one worries me the most. Thanks for replying. All the best!
