Has anyone tried anti-depressant medication for neuropathic pain?

Have done IVIG and Ketamine injections and Scrambler treatments to no avail. Am currently considering a functional medicine program that includes strict diet (night shades restrictions) and cognitive behavioral therapy. Have not begun this program as I wanted to see if the change in medication might help.

I am on a waiting list for Ketamine injections at George Washington University Hospital. I have severe painful neuropathy in my feet, legs, hands, and arms, as well as neck and back pain. It resulted from a failed cervical steroid injection. Can you describe the Ketamine injections that you had and who gave them to you? Did insurance cover any of it?

If I can query, how did you find a functional medicine program and doctor? Is there a reliable national registry? Are they M,D.s but with a different approach? A lot of people report satisfaction with them after trying the more conventional protocols.
