BMJ 335:87-90, Wong,M.-C.,et al, 2007
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Anticonvulsants and antidepressants are still the most commonly used options to manage diabetic neuropathy. Oral tricyclic antidepressants and traditional anticonvulsants are better for short term pain relief than newer generation anticonvulsants. Evidence of the long term effects of oral antidepressants and anticonvulsants is still lacking. Further studies are needed on opioids, N-methyld-D-aspartate antagonists, and ion channel blockers.
