Good morning,
I have never experienced the cold feelings like you describe. But I do get cold easily.
My Neuropathy was caused by many years of taking the seizure medicine Dilantin. When I first developed symptoms of Neuropathy I went to see a Podiatrist whom I liked very much, He was very honest telling me it is incurable but there was a chance medication might help. I accepted my condition so I never bothered hunting for vitamins He prescribed gabapentin for me in hopes that it would help the Neuropathy symptoms as well as helping my seizures, unfortunately, it had no effect whatsoever, even though I was taking the maximum daily dose of 3,600 mg. There was another man there with neuropathy, but he didn't receive any relief until he was taking the dose of 7,200 mg per day. research has shown that people who don't get relief from gabapentin is because they're not taking a high enough dose. I regret not trying higher doses than 3,600 mg. of Gabapentin.
After seeing my Podiatrist I asked my Neurologist about my feet and he agreed with the Podiatrist.
Take care,
Jake

I am on 900 mg a day and not getting much relief at all. Is it safe to take a much higher dosage per day? Any input would be greatly appreciated. Thank you. Karen
