I may or may not have SFN, but i do have some kind of neuropathy. I do take narcotics for the
pain in addition to lots of
lyrica and a small amt or amytripiline. antidepressants don't work for me, but narcotics do help me a lot. it seems like with the lyrica and such, I still have the pain but it isn't as overwhelming or i am too loopy from lyrica to care, but when I reduced the lyrica dosage and added in fentanyl patch, the pain was significantly reduced.
