My neuro wanted me to try nortriptyline which is a second generation version if amytriptyline, instead of, or together with gabapentin. It is often prescribed for neuropathy and is a combination anti depressant and nerve pain reliever she said. My research showed no proof of benefit although she claims to have patients who did well with it. To date I have not tried it.

I've had some success with Lyrica (150 mg twice daily) and Amitriptyline (75 mg nightly). The burning in my hands and feet lessened greatly and the Ami also helped me sleep.
I was given the nortriptyline a few years ago as an antidepressant and it gave me a horribly dry mouth. I got cavities and lost a tooth as a result of it. Be careful and read up on side effects.
