The doses used for PN are far below the old therapeutic doses for depression. At that level, side effects are much much less, when used for PN.(tricyclics like nortriptyline)

Perhaps I should have said of the SSRI and SNRI family, Cymbalta is the only liver toxic one. More on the liver toxicity aspect:
