Chris, thank you so much for your advice and insight, having another personal trusted opinion is invaluable. I think that I keep waiting to feel better mentally and trying to employ “mindfulness” because I think that issues outside of my neuropathy have caused my present lapse in the ability to feel good. But, I guess the reason doesn’t really matter. I think I’ll wait a little while longer and see if there is any change before trying the nortriptylene. Helen
