Anticonvulsant in general can help pain from neuropathy because it inhibits neuro firing. But if u inhibits normal firing. What do you expect as a side effect, and it would be pretty harsh. Gabapentin comes out the top in terms of least side effect for neuropathy hence prescriber use it often, until now the updated guideline recommends antidepressant more. But none of these really help with nerve regeneration
