Neuropathic Pain Medications
The treatment of neuropathic pain can be very difficult. It is often necessary to conduct trials of multiple medications before finding the best regimen. It is important to be patient as effective medications for one individual may be different than others. These medications include:
Anti-epileptic (anti-seizure) medication – gabapentin, pregabalin, carbamazapine, etc.
Antidepressant medication - tricyclics (e.g. amitriptyline), SSRIs (e.g. duloxetine)
Topicals – Local anesthetic preparations (creams, gels, patches), other compounded creams
