Medications that: Increase the sympathetic nervous system or ramp up anxiety. Things like adderal or Ritalin have been shown to make neuropathy slightly worse. Medications that cause you to be anxiouscan certainly increase pain. There are a number of other medications that can damage nerves, leading to more neuropathy, from Levaquin (levofloxacin) to chemo agents, too many to list. None that you have listed above, any new meds?
