I have small fiber nueropathy I am to the point where I am in pain, sitting, standing, walking and exercising. I have tried gabapetin, nortriplin and cymbalta. They did not work for the pain they only added always being tired and not wanting to do anything. The pain I am experiencing is at the peak of all the pain I have had. I am interested to hear others stories and what has been successful. Thanks Richard

Hello Richard @magneticcenter - Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sorry to hear you have not found any relief from the normal pain medications that are prescribed for treating neuropathy pain. You might find the following discussions helpful.

Have you tried any alternative methods for treating your neuropathy pain?

Amitriptyline for neuropathy helps. It will make you sleep so I take it at night which is when neuropathy visits. I also have a pain pump.
