Treatment options that have worked for Small Fiber Neuropathy

My feet started hurting in early 2018, around 6 months after my second organ transplant. I was told by one Neurologist it is from my taking Prograf/Tacrolimus since 2000. I heard from my previous transplant coordinator that other of her patients have had similar issues. Stated Lyrica 50mg 3x daily then switched to 75mg 2x daily. Now I take 100mg 2x daily. Seems to help some. But I also have a medical marjiuana card in state for the past 3 years and get both CDB and THC products. I take/use these products at night for sleep and it has helped with dealing with the pain at night.

When I was on gabapentin prior to lyrica, Neurontin was rxd to potentiate it when the max dose wasn’t effective. unfortunately, the practitioner at the time wouldn’t increase the Neurontin when after a month it wasn’t as effective working synergistically.
I switched over to Lyrica and I’m on 75 mg every eight hours. I tried the Neurontin again to no aval. they refused to Increase the lyrica. I know sometimes some other tricyclics will potentiate it. Have they considered that for you.
I’m going to look into increasing my vagal tone.
