Pain that comes from pressure on or damage to a nerve is sometimes treated with drugs that are used to treat depression. Some of these can cause you to have a dry mouth, feel sleepy, or to feel dizzy when you first sit up or stand. Drugs used to treat seizures can also relieve nerve pain. These can also cause you to feel sleepy or make it hard for you to think clearly. There may be other side effects too. Ask your doctor, nurse or pharmacist for information about the particular drug you are taking, and for suggestions about how to treat side effects.
