I am 53 years old. I have pain and numbness in palm. For pain I got the medicine and for numbness doctor has given me typlin 10 which is used for depression but he says it is also useful for numbness. Is it ok to take it?

Antidepressants are commonly used drugs for nerve type of pain. Nerve pain generally presents as burning or electric shock like pain in a numb area or the area may have altered sensation. The medicine is more likely to affect the pain rather than numbness. It may be worth vising a doctor to rule out carpal tunnel syndrome which can be helped by injection or in severe cases by surgery. Hope this helps.
