Has anyone tried anti-depressant medication for neuropathic pain?

I developed neuropathy after chemo treatment for breast cancer. Over the 10 yrs I have suffered from this condition, it seems to have gotten worse. I do not take anything for it . I don't like taking medication anyway but now on prednisone for PMR. Should I ask my rheumatologist for some medication for the discomfort of this condition? What do you think.

Hello @glp1340122, Welcome to Connect. I'm sorry to hear you developed neuropathy after your chemo treatments. I see that you are also dealing with PMR for the double whammy. My PMR is in remission but I've had neuropathy for 20+ years but only the numbness and some tingling with no real pain. You mentioned you just have discomfort. Medications don't help with the numbness but they can address the neuropathy pain symptoms. Do you have pain from the neuropathy?
