I am 65 years old, female, have Sjogren's syndrome and renal failure.
Pains in my legs (peripheral neuropathy) respond to Etrafon-D which consists of perphenazine and amytriptylene.
I was told that the use of perphenazine is contraindicated in persons with renal failure. Amitriptylene by itself was not effective.
Is there a drug which can be taken to alleviate the pains of peripheral neuropathy that is less damaging to kidneys than
Etrafon-D?
Thank you for any advice,
