[QUOTE="supergob, post: 315160, member: 21248"] Hi, I have been on Amitriptyline in combination with Gabapentin, now changed to Pregabalin. Both these drugs are used for treatment for epilepsy and they suppress pain at the nerve ends. Both are now also prescribed for Diabetic Neuropathy, which I have in my feet and legs, and both can be useful in suppressing nerve pains, especially during the night. It all depends upon the dosage of Amitriptyline, as when given the higher dose it has a tendency to send me in a trance, definitely not recommended when driving, so I have cut out the three times a day, preferring to take it along with the pregabalin before bed. I take four pregabalin in total , one before each meal and one last thing at night with the Amitriptyline, I find it has worked in the past for me, but now I have to top it with Co Codamol, I prefer that to the alternative hard drugs.
