Running out to work, but I believe that was a list of commonly used anti convulsant medications specifically.
I actually take Clonazepam (which is a benzodiazepine with anti convulsant properties) 'as needed' for my burning pain, since I can't take the anti convulsants/anti depressants as off label pain relief due to side effects.
Clonazepam is highly addictive and habit forming. I'm only taking 1mg a day currently, but as my current flare seems to be calming down, I'm slowly reducing my dose of Clonazepam. Once you're on it for a couple weeks consistently, you can have trouble if you try to stop it immediately.
