Anyone used PEA for neuropathy pain relief?
I tried the first 300 mg dose last evening but was awakened about 6 hrs. later with severe itching on both lower legs and ankle areas...I don't know if cause/effect applies. Has anyone else experienced similar PEA side effect?

Where did you read about PEA and eliquis?I am on eliquis but wanted to give PEA a try.
In Italy, neuropathy is treated with Lipoic Acid & PEA. Has anyone tried PEA or the above combination in the USA?

I have no noticeable short term effect from R-ALA and PEA. Possibly slight effect longer term (over 3 wks+). I think it is good to mention dosages when discussing any treatments (since YMMV), so, R-ALA 100-300mg/day and PEA 300-1200mg/day.
