Answer 4

SSRIs or Selective Serotonin Reuptake Inhibitors are a group of drugs mainly used in treating depression, but recent trials have indicated that they may be useful in treating diabetic neuropathy as well, due to their action on GABA receptors. Now... there are different drugs in this group -- the most widely known being fluoxetine or prozac, which appears effective only in diabetic neuropathy with co-existing depression. Paroxetine and fluvoxamine appear to have some efficacy in diabetic neuropathy. SSRIs were the 1st to be FDA approved in the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. In general, however, they are less efficacious than tricyclic antidepressants. The mainstay of treatment, however, remains at controlling the diabetes itself and of course, as the old adage goes -- PREVENTION is better than cure. K... now may I have my 10 points? :-)
