Has anyone tried anti-depressant medication for neuropathic pain?

I couldn’t stay asleep with Trazodone and I needed a little bump with pain relief. Dr. suggested swapping out Trazodone for Nortriptyline (because it does have a bit of pain relief in it) and to stay on course with the Pregabalin. I now sleep more soundly, allowing a good nites rest, no side affects and pain is more tolerable without having to up my Pregabalin mg.

I take 200 mg Pregabalin 3 times a day (to help with pain), but I need 1 mg Clonazepam to help me sleep 7-8 hours each night.

Hello @melody12 Thank you for sharing this information. I'm so glad to hear that this combo is helping you with no side effects! That's great.

I usually get a good night’s rest just from my Pregabalin and a little bump with Ativan. It’s the day times that are wearing me out with pain.

Tried taking Cymbalta with the Pregabalin and felt worse.

Next I’m going to try the Spinal Cord Stimulator, I think. It has been recommended by my neurosurgeon.
