Could be,,,the research on diabetic neuropathy is, I believe in the phase 3 trial...Who knows if it will continue to be funded..The research for a phase 3 trial for lumbar radiculopathy, after a poorly designed phase 2 trial.was meant to proceed I'm sure that funding is in jeopardy, as well. My experience thus far, which clearly means nothing in terms of broader efficacy, was 50mg 2x's a day did nothing discernible. At my pain doctors urging I tried 100mg 2x's a day. I continued taking Celebrex once a day and tylenol arthritis 2x's a day. Adding Journvx made a difference. Having said that there could be unforeseen side effects at this dose....a risk I would take but it is unaffordable.
