Hi eastmas1,
We do have a very few members who’ve controlled their symptoms w/ medication. The types of medication used are nerve pain meds which fall in two categories - anti-depressants, & anti-seizure meds. There are MANY medications in each of the two categories & what works for one person may not work for another. Also, over time, the medication dosage often needs to be increased or medication changed to another type. Sometimes it takes several months to find the right medication & dosage.
Some of the names we see most often on here are Gabapentin (Neurontin), Amitriptyline, & Pregabalin (Lyrica). I will add that some people also simply take prescription pain meds.
Here is a link to discussions from this forum about nerve pain medications that will give you more information: Nerve pain medication
