[QUOTE="Actaeon70, post: 2043982, member: 101129"] I now have peripheral neuropathy but never had ulcers or other foot problems. I was told by one GP that my options were amitriptyline, gabapentin or pregabalin. When I saw my regular GP, she refused to prescribe either of the last two, saying they would increase my BG levels, and gave me amitriptyline. (I wasn't happy with this as I have unpleasant mental associations with it.) Not sure if that's true, as yet another GP told me he'd never heard that claim (plus she was pretty useless in other areas too.) Originally on 10mg, which did nothing, but now on 20mg which is sometimes effective, sometimes not. [/QUOTE]
