How did I find those meds ? I am a veteran and receive my care from the VA. I suffered some discomfort from my neuropathy for many years thinking it was the varicose veins that I had. After I got accepted for VA care, the discomfort got so that I couldn't take it any longer. That's when neurology started trying to help me. My condition was not the usual presentation of neuropathy, After many appts and tests, finally, they diagnosed it as small fiber peripheral neuopathy. I started with Gabapentin which did nothing (it does for some people). Under a new doctor in the pain clinic, he started me on Amitriptyline - which helped - and increased the dose until I got substantial relief. It had be a long drawn out process through several medications including narcotics that did me the worst - not a good one for neuropathy. I do suffer with it now, but Amitriptyline can be adjusted to compensate for the severity of it. It is definitely a formidable issue to deal with. The key for me was a good neurologist and pain clinic doctor.
