Dear IHH -

I know that you are - perhaps with good reason - cautious when it comes to adding new drugs.

That said, I have to go on and tell you that the best thing that I found for stabbing electrical pains was a benzodiazepine called Xanax. I take 0.5 mg. 4 times a day, and while it is normally prescribed for anxiety and is in the same chemical family as Valium, it has given me no psychotropic effect of which I am aware. But it has really helped with the electrical pain.

Good luck.

Mike
