Has anyone tried anti-depressant medication for neuropathic pain?

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?

Honestly, no I do not have pain from neuropathy, just a lot of discomfort especially when sitting or lying-in down. When I walk my dog I have no discomfort from that condition. I am now taking 3 mg of prednisone but honestly do not think I will be able to do without the drug which the doc is reducing every 30 days until I am done. Did you get PMR after taking the covid vaccine? I think that is when I took the last booster and I am not planing on getting another one at this time.
