Hello, Mary! How are you? I'm sorry about the problem that you're having.

There are several others that you can try, include Neurontin and Lyrica. They are also anticonvulsants that have been shown to help with certain types of nerve pain. Typical side effects may include nausea, dizziness, dry mouth, mood swings and weight changes.

What has your doctor suggested? How low is your sodium?
