I am also finding lorazepam is soothing the really sharp edge of neuropathy.
Also, it helps that awful feeling of anxiety/panic one feels when pain starts to veer out of control. Do you know what I mean? The pain gets so severe you start tremoring, shaking all over. Thankfully that doesn't happen often.

Thanks for Baclofen info. Have heard of it bit never tried it. Any other side effects than fatigue?
