Default SSRI medications to treat Neuropathy?
Under the "Supplements for Peripheral Neuropathy", mrsD made this statement on the subject of B1:

Quote:
Historically B1 was the only treatment for neuropathy for many years. The typical dose is 100-300mg daily in divided doses.
Then the SSRI antidepressants emerged and also Neurontin (followed by Lyrica) and the treatment for PNs changed and doctors dropped the thiamine. This I believe is a mistake.
My question is, how do SSRI medications help with Neuropathy? Aren't these typically anti anxiety/anti depressent drugs? Is an imbalance in Seratonin (sp?) levels in the brain a cause of PN?
