Too bad to hear about the pain. Have you considered something like Neurontin? This could help neuropathic pain and *may* provide additional mood support...

As far as only getting up to 50 mg, randomized trials (e.g. http://tinyurl.com/c2oy4) indicate that there is significant response among some people benefit from doses that low.

Good luck,
