What are some treatments for shingles?

• Tricyclic antidepressants is a drug that reduce pain perception when in low doses. This medication pain management includes amitriptyline (treatment of depression and chronic pain.), desipramine (drug used to elevate mood and promote recovery of a normal range of emotions in patients), and nortriptyline (antidepressant).
• Steroid injection is another treatment they use for patients with postherpetic neuralgia; this injection is injected directly into the space around the spinal cord and is not use to treat the face.
• Lyrica was made to relief many people with the pains of shingles. It treats the burning, stabbing, and shooting feelings caused by shingles.
