Ok, I just re-read this thread, and the article cited about the regenerative potential (which was from 6/09).

I tried the experiment of stopping the R-Lipoic, and the burning began to return, so I got back on it pronto, and so-far, so-good. (only emote w/crossed finners....)

I'm getting ready to have a confab with my doc and hit him up for a scrip for amitriptyline. Now since the R-Lipoic is addressing the pain/burning, the main (only) reason I want to add the amitriptyline is for the regenerative potential, and hopefully beat this thing, or at least feel some improvement. So my questions are:

Does anyone have any other links/citations of articles about this topic since 6/09?

Does anyone think it's actually working for them in this manner (i.e. are you getting better/feeling back)?

I was prescribed amitriptyline once before, and stopped it due to side effects, but that was years ago, and I don't recall the dosage. What dosage would I need for just the regen effects (and hopefully avoid the nasty side effects?
