I was the one that wrote the story about being in Vietnam and involved with agent orange and later in life came down with neuropathy Today I went to the VA doctor and he checked me and again said there was no cure but only relief so he gave me pills to take and when I checked the out they are mainly for depression but he did say they would help with the neuropathy He gave me AMITRIPTYLINE HCL 25MG so if anyone is talking this please help me with whats involved with this med and the side effects some people are having because he gave me a thirty day supply and a nine month refill.Believe me I am not depressed at all only pains in both feet constantly….Thanks
