Next steps: Dr Grim's suggestions should be heeded. Do you have a firm diagnosis regarding cause for SFN? Are you taking a specific medication to deal with nerve pain? Are you taking biologically active B vitamins? Do you have a neurologist experienced in category of peripheral neuropathy? I too believe your pursuit of sleeping pills will be fraught with failure due to evolving tolerance. Suggest above.
