In reply to How to treat neuropathic pain ? pleae help, posted by ben on March 24, 2002, at 10:52:12
> I do have a peripheral sensory neuropathy in my lower legs. I read of "treating" pain with TCAs (esp. amitryptiline, trimipramine, doxepine) and Antiepileptics (esp. Gabapentin, Carbamazepine and Oxcarbazepine). I am very sensitive to side effects (sedation, dizziness) so I have problems to bear "normal" doses considered to be helpful. Are there TCAs lacking the anticholinergic and antihistaminic side effects to treat neuropathic pain ? Other ADs like SSRIs doesnt seem to work for pain ?! Do you have experiences or considerations ? I am on Moclobemide (Aurorix) for several weeks (in diff. doses) and it doesnt seem to do any trick for my pain !

I think desipramine is your answer. Excellent for neuropathy, low side effect profile. Try 10 to 25 mg in the morning.
