It is important to discuss any medications you plan on taking during pregnancy with your health care provider. Certain nerve medications can be taken safely while pregnant, including some anticonvulsants such as gabapentin and pregabalin, as well as tricyclic antidepressants like amitriptyline and nortriptyline. Be sure to follow your doctor's instructions for dosage and other safety precautions when taking these or any other medications while pregnant. Additionally, many people find relief from nerve pain through non-medication methods such as physical therapy, massage therapy, yoga, acupuncture or lifestyle changes that include exercise, proper nutrition and stress management techniques.
