kimber,
I tried Prozac (fluoxetine) for my neuropathy because it had helped with some neurological symptoms I had about 10 years earlier. It did not help the neuropathy. A psychologist we had at one of our neuropathy meetings told us that "older" antidepressants like Prozac don't tend to work very well for pain. But I would not be afraid to try it. If I recall, I think I only experienced a minor sexual side effect from it.

Thanks IZE]
