I’ve tried Citalopram, Venlafaxine, Cymbalta and Savella and experienced horrendous side effects with each. No more antidepressants for me.

Antidepressants have never helped me for anything, certainly not depression or pain. sigh

I've used desipramine for the first 2 years of my idiopathic SFN and it relieved tingling and what I called "sunburns". It worked for me and I continue to take it at the dosage of 60mg per day and have taken it for 5.5 years. At 3 years into my SFN I started Gabapentin which has provided better relief from sharp, shooting pains. Gabapentin dose is 60mg per day. Hope this helps

apparently duloxetine (Cymbalta) has shown efficacy in double blind tests.

I've managed the 10 yrs of this neuropathy with NO A/D drugs....absolutely.

For me years ago getting thryoid supported got rid of a 10 yr depression. Long Story.

We can have this neuropathy stuff and no depression. We're not excited and happy to have it, but there is a lot to the depression world.
