>Which antidepressant can help my neuropathic pain, does not cause weight gain and other bothersome side effects, and also is effective in treating my unipolar affective mood disorder?
Have you tried nortriptyline or desipramine? Both of these drugs sometimes cause weight gain, especially nortriptyline, but neither of them are anywhere near as bad as Remeron.
>I am hopeful that with the right antidepressant, at the best dosage, along with the Lyrica, I can go without taking a powerful painkiller
The thing is, for some people, antidepressants can cause more side effects than conventional analgesics.
