Namenda was used for neuropathy, before it was approved by the FDA here.
It did not pass studies results for pain relief by the FDA. I have seen studies
on PubMed where pain indications were not appreciably changed by it.
It does work on NMDA receptors tho. With time it has not shown good results for Alzheimer's either. In Britain they have taken it off the National formulary there.
In USA the insurances still pay for it. But if a new agent is developed, that is better, I expect to see it fall into disuse here as well.
It is worth a try for you since it does not cause serious side effects. If it doesn't work, then at least you will know that.
Here is a paper about 6 people...who benefited. Notice it is from Europe:
