Just wondering...I saw significant improvement in my neuropathy symptoms with Elavil 10 mg in AM and 20 mg in PM which I started in August. I started Hydrochlorothiazide 12.5 mg 3 weeks ago for mild hypertension increasing to 25 mg 6 days ago. Two days after increasing the Hydrochlorothiazide to 25 mg, my neuropathy symptoms returned to pre-Elavil levels. My lytes were checked 10 days after starting HCTZ and were fine. Could the exacerbation of my symptoms (increased burning, tingling, shooting pains, numbness) be related to the hydrochlorothiazide? By the way, so far, it hasn't had a significant effect on my BP. It is my understanding that ace-inhibitors should be avoided with neuropathy, but I wasn't sure about Hydrochlorothiazide.
