That is exactly what I am talking about. After I informed my doctor that tramadol is not working for me his statements listed below was in insult. Advil or Motrin for pain from neuropathy??? Because he is worried about long term addication use??? So suffer through the pain ..... time for new doctor bad thing he is suppose to be the best in neuropathy and neuromuscalar diseases.

You could increase the amitriptyline to 150 mg per night (3 tabs po qhs), but this is also a very large dose. You could add Advil or Motrin to your pain regimen. You could take 2-3 tabs po 4 times per day as needed for pain." P Donofrio
