Hello,

I would recommend you to take tablet Gabapentin twice daily along with tablet Amitriptyline once daily at bedtime for 5-6 weeks.

These are prescription drugs and should be taken under the supervision of the doctor.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Take care

Regards,
Dr Asmeet Kaur Sawhney, Dermatologist
