hello
welcome to HCM
from your history it is evident that it is neuropathic pain.citalopram is a good choice for neuropathic pain syndrome.if it does not work at all you can change to LAMOTRIGINE.
for your low back pain radiating to leg i shall also advise a mri LS spine.
consult a neurologist with the report.
hope this is helpful.
regards
