[QUOTE="agavegertie, post: 1380144, member: 28951"] Dear MrDieselx, My Type 2 Diabetes was discovered originally because I suffered with frightful neuropathy pains in my feet. Eventually, I was sent to see a Consultant Neurologist. I have been on Duloxetine since the last treatment for the neuropathy pains stopped helping me. I take 30 mg in the morning and 60 mg in the evening. The result of this is that my brain does not register the neuropathy pain. I find that the smaller dose of this anti anxiety/depression medicine really works. As with many of this type of medicine its side effects such as a weird sleeplessness at the start of taking it do stop, after a month or so. It is like a miracle to have no pains in my feet. I used to get strong pulsing pains which were like a cross between feeling scalded and violent pins and needles. I simply could not get off to sleep because of them and needed to drop off eventually through total exhaustion. So, if you have not tried this medicine you could ask for a trial, I would start at the lower dose so as to get used to it and then your doctor can decide whether it is a good idea to up the dose later on.
