The advantage of Nortriptyline (and its parent compound amitriptyline) is that there is a study showing this drug increases
nerve growth factors. Nortriptyline is the active metabolite of amitriptyline.
The down side is if you have prostate, or glaucoma problems,
then it is not a good idea for you.
Gabapentin does NO healing...it is for symptoms only.
Doctors like to give gabapentin because it is not metabolized by the liver so it does not interfere with other drugs.
But the downside is that it is only marginally effective, and a new metastudy analysis found it only effective in about 30% of people.
I think you should start investigating some supplements and see if they will help. I don't recall if you have started that yet?
