Specific ALA Recommendations Needed

I am an 85-year-old male diagnosed with PN 10 years ago who started to take 150 mg of ALA soon after the diagnosis and detected a lessening of foot numbness. As the numbness eventually began to increase in intensity, I increased the dose to 300 mg of stabilized R-Lipolic Acid with Biotin optimizer to some effect. Reading of others with stronger dosage, I'm contemplating increasing to 600 mg if my primary agrees there is no conflict with other meds I'm taking.

My neurologist recommended 600 mg at night but I have been taking 300 mg in the morning and the same at night. I may start doing it just at night as that is when the symptoms are experienced more. I found more effect with the R version and I am not using the Biotin variety. You should definitely checkout any effects with other meds. ALA is pretty unstable so other meds could affect it's viability but also ALA could maybe interact negatively with others? Good to check out.
