Any members suffer with Peripheral neuropathy DR Meds

[No Place Like Home]

What treatment are you using and can you get the meds here in the DR?

 

[bob saunders]

which medications are you looking for? Nortriptyline and newer serotonin-norepinephrine reuptake inhibitors such as duloxetine hydrochloride modulate pain by increasing the brain’s ability to inhibit incoming pain signals. Another class of medications that quiets nerve cell electrical signaling is also used for epilepsy. Common drugs include gabapentin, pregabalin, and less often topiramate and lamotrigine. Carbamazepine and oxcarbazepine are particularly effective for trigeminal neuralgia, a focal neuropathy of the face.

Omg Bob. Sometimes you just have to defer to a medical professional. You don't have to impart this sort of advice.

Look the question is kind of like how long is a string. I offered no advice. The OP doesn't give enough information on the causes of his condition and how he/she is affected. The condition can be caused by numerous things and affect different parts of the body different ways and to different severities. Thus the medication and treatment would be different for each manifestation. Asking if a certain medication is available would a better question. There are neurologists and diabetic specialists here in the DR. That is where they should be asking their question instead of consulting an internet forum. I note you offer no help.

Gabapentin is the normal script whether it is diabetes or chemo side effect caused neuropathy. Given the high rate of diabetes in the country I would expect that gabapentin is readily available in RD.

Sorry that you are going through this. Mine is manageable (barely) without meds, but I know your pain.

Problem is Bob you don't have to be everyone's answer. Sometimes you don't have any input and it's ok. No need to chime in. You're not a doctor

Problem is you got a lot to say about what other people say but offer nothing of value yourself. At least you remove all doubt.

I don't have anything to say on neuropathy Bob. Now if you want to talk IT, let's go. If you want to talk DR, let's go. You're being a horse's ass

I took preaxon ( pregabalina) 75 mg for spinal never damage and it worked well. My physio was successful so I didn't have to get using it.
