Has anyone tried Buspar for nerve flares?

I haven't started it yet but found reports of it being effective with nerve pain.

I am supposing you've tried the supplements Benfotiamine and Alpha Lipoic Acid, those helped me a lot too and they aren't more drugs to take. Helped particularly with nerve pain at night.

I started on amitriptyline, plaquenil, and a whole bunch of supplements a month ago but didn't want to do too many new things at once. Those two are my next planned addition; I'm glad to know they might help with this specific issue.

I'd move them to the front of the line, my humble opinion. The first thing that stopped was nerve pain coming on just before bedtime. Eventually, just on the Bentofiamine, most of it stopped at night. Then I added the Alpha Lipoic Acid, even more went away. I was really surprised. Sometimes if I eat the wrong thing, I still have a problem... mostly the wrong oils; coconut oil, canoba oil, etc... then I rely on my Klonopin I told you about.
