I am suffering from neuropathy, as yet no cause found. I am taking Trandolaprin 2mg andIndapamide 1.5 mg for BP control. Have triedApo-Gabapentin but caused agitation, sleeplessness and urinary frequency and urgency. Dr changed to Amitripyline which I hasD taken for years on 25mg for back pain, doubled dose to 50mg. Neuropathy pain lessened but caused urinary retention, dry mouth, and constipation. Where to now? Back on 25mg with increased neuropathy, sore throat and difficulty sleeping?
Hi, Thank you for posting your query. I can understand your discomfort on account of neuropathy on one side, and side effects related to medications on the other side. Both gabapentin and amitriptyline are good medications for treating neuropathic pain, but unfortunately, you had side effects from both of them. In your case, other treatment options include pregabalin or duloxetine. You should discuss with your doctor regarding these two Chat Doctor. Best wishes,
