First thing in the morning putting my feet on the floor from bed was like standing on red hot shards of glass and the pain shot right up both legs.I was put on Amitriptyline but as I suffer with an anxiety disorder I thought to kill two birds with one stone say to speak. I ended up on 75 mg of Amitriptyline but a side effect of that dosage was numbness and the neuropathy got worse. Too high a dose has the opposite effect.I went down to 25mg every night and the neuropathy in my feet had all but gone though the neuropathy in my hands was still really bad at times and nothing seems to help that.I was put on Duloxetine also about a year ago and since I have had no more issues with my feet. It is used for two complaints. Anxiety Disorders and Diabetes Neuropathy.I also get neuropathy in my skin and just the feel of the blankets touching me when in bed can be agonizing. This is not a regular occurrence but I will experience this maybe once or twice a year at most. It's like having sharp needles under my skin pushing to get through. Not sure if you or anyone else out there has had this!Not sure if any of this helps but I can relate to the pain.</blockquote>
