what medications can you take for neuropathy?
Most people with peripheral diabetic nerve pain need something strongerâa prescription medicationâto treat the pain. You may need a combination of these to deal with the various effects of nerve damage. The FDA has approved two medications for diabetic peripheral neuropathy: Cymbalta and Lyrica. Talk to you doctor to find out if these medications may be right for your nerve pain; however, many other medications are commonly used successfully to treat diabetic neuropathy.
