Hi,

Thank you for posting your query.

I have noted your symptoms and the medications prescribed by your doctor.

It would be difficult to make a definite decision regarding the choice of medicines unless we examine you.

However, I would like to tell you that betacap (propranolol) is a medicine to treat migraine (headaches). Libotryp is a medicine to treat nerve pain and improve sleep.

In your case, since you have neuropathic pain, pregabalin and gabapentin capsules would be more preferred.

I hope my reply has helped you.

I would be pleased to answer, if you have any follow up queries or if you require any further information.
     
Best wishes,
