My question is, how do SSRI medications help with Neuropathy? Aren't these typically anti anxiety/anti depressent drugs? Is an imbalance in Seratonin (sp?) levels in the brain a cause of PN?

Believe it or not they do help. The actual medical reason behind this is a mystery to me, but I've been doing this now for some time in conjunction with Lyrica and it helps. I want to say it takes care of all the pain, but that wouldn't be true. I'm looking for more releif like everyone here. And since there doesn't seem to be any cure anything I can find to keep the pain down to a tolerable level helps.

Best of luck to you!
