Abstract

The use of antidepressants and anticonvulsants in the treatment of neuropathic pain is common across a wide range of syndromes. While not all antidepressants and anticonvulsants are useful in management, there are some families that appear to show benefit. Understanding the use of these medications and the risks associated is a common area for board questions.
