Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy or do you just have the symptoms?

Yes. It’s very painful.

Has anyone tried Nortriptyline?

Hello @pamelaz, Welcome to Connect. I have no experience with Nortriptyline but @melody12 @patriciao @artscaping @sharonbrenna and @rwinney have posted about it in other discussions and may have some experience to share with you.

Have you been diagnosed with neuropathy? Do you mind sharing a little more about your diagnosis and symptoms?

Are you confusing gabapentin with pre-Pregabalin (Lyrica). 2 different meds. Both have been used for nerve pain.

Hi John,
Thanks for you reply. I am a type 11 diabetic. Haven't officially been diagnosed as yet, but the symptoms are very similar to all the the comments I read.
I'm also recovering from Colon cancer surgery 8 wks..no chemo would love to connect with that group as well..I also have gastroparesis.

Thank you
Karina

I am and I wish I had answers. It is awful. I am looking into Nerve replacement surgery.
