Hi ~ Nerve pain can be helped by anti-seizure drugs too such as neurontin or topamax. These meds help take care of the burning-type pain that you get with neuropathy.

You might ask your doctor about these meds, and see what he says. The Topamax worked miracles for me! The burning pain is gone!

Best of luck & God bless. Hugs, Lee
