Default Nortriptyline + Gabapentin found most effective

The recent discussion of pros and cons of Gabapentin leads me to ask if people on this board have already discussed this widely cited study that concluded that the combination of Nortriptyline and Gabapentin reduces pain more effectively than either drug alone. Here's a link to the first page of the article. (It's from a journal called Evidence Based Medicine, a division of the British Medical Journal group.)

I started on Nortriptyline; my neurologist just added an entry level dose of Gabapentin. So far it's helping. But my PN was diagnosed only about six months ago, so I'm not a very good test case.
