Just curious about anyone's experience with it.
Peripheral neuropathy. Stop drinking if you have not already stopped because it's going to get worse if you continue. vitamin B helps along with folic acid. Go to your doctor he might send you to a neuro for a nerve conductive study to see if you have nerve damage.

I'am on the max dosage of gabapentin(neurotin) and still have problems walking from the pain and burning.
