I read both of your comments, I have small cell Neurothpy. It also gives me wobbly gait, and I shake in my buttocks. It’s very painful. And I’m allergic to anything that is a painkiller. Never heard of this medication, but I am on vitamins, B12, and B6, an alpha Olympic acids. Perhaps you could let me know, if this qualifies for a small cell neuropathy pain. It was a pleasure reading both of your comments. Thank you.

Hi, Chapanddrew8, I'm not a doctor but I don't believe this class of drug will help you with any neuropathy pain. I'd suggest speaking with your PCP about Gabapenten starting off with a low dose. Gaba is not a pain releaver but does quiet the nerves down. I have neuropathy and it works with little to no side effects. I also take Flomax but I think I liked Finasteride better. Good luck!

Hi @chapanddrew8, I'd like to add my welcome to Connect along with @ray666 and others. I have idiopathic small fiber peripheral neuropathy but only have the numbness along with a few other ailments including and enlarged prostrate which is why I take the generic form of Flomax which is tamsulosin. Here's more information on the medication.
"Flomax (tamsulosin) belongs to in a class of medications called alpha blockers. It works by relaxing the muscles in the prostate and bladder so that urine can flow easily."
