Anyone here dealing with peripheral neuropathy?

I have been prescribed nortriptyline for my nerve pain. I tried Cymbalta but had terrible side effects. Wondering for those of you that have found success with nortriptyline for reducing nerve pain, how long after taking it have you felt some relief? I have been on it around 12 days. My pharmacist said it can take some time for it to work.

Yes…would also like to find out about nortryptiline, I was suggested by my doctor to take, but I didn’t want to take until I found out if it works for others. Thank you.
Blessings for a great New Year with health. Ubelinda

I am dealing with this too. I don’t ever feel I’m understood when I talk to a Dr. about neuropathy. I have not found a medication to help. I am worried about future progression of pain as the diabetes 1.5 and heart disease take a toll on my health.

I've been on Gabapentin for many years for burning feet. It seems to work quite well. I still have the burning, but it no longer keeps me awake nights. The only side affect is drowsiness, however, I take it in the evening before bed, so it helps get to sleep.

I also take Ropinirole for Restless Leg Syndrome. The combination of the two may be working well for burning feet.
