I was wondering if anyone else is taking this drug? My father was perscribed this (60mg daily) for the numbness and tingling in his hands and feet as a result of the Carboplatin. Did it help at all? I also found out that this is a anti-depressant. May be the best of both worlds if it works on this nerve damage and keeps the depression at bay.


Thanks,

Vickie M

I did a search on Google and it came back that is precribed for severe perifial nerve pain and damage in people with Diabeties and appears to work for them, so sounds worth a try. My Mom was precribed another antidepessent for pain and it worked for her.
