Neuropathic pain

I'm not impressed by it so far. Made me dopey(er) the next day and the effect was negligible.

I HAVE discovered that fabric on the area makes it worse. But other than walk around naked, there's not much I can do. Bit nippy for that.

Amitriptyline has worked well for me but I didn't really know how much until I ran out

I'll let you know Elaine. I'm in a support group for cancer survivors and Gabapentin was recommended or something called Soma. My GP, who is very good tho, suggested Amitriptyline because he said it would work quicker where as Gab has to build up over a period of time.

My DH has this in his neck following a stroke caused by a dissertation of vertebral artery in his neck (bit like Andrew Marr - different artery). The stroke nurse suggested menthol cream which doesn't help and now need to see GP to try amitriptyline or gabapentin. Sorry you have this GagaJo but does the amitriptyline help?
