I have had peripheral neuropathy for several years now. I am 78 years of age and still working part-time at a job I love. I have been on Pregabalin and Lyrica at different times throughout the years with no relief so I gave up.
I have decided to try again and my right side only is affected by pins and needles and electric shock-like pain due to five herniated discs. I am currently taking 200 mg of Pregabalin in addition to Oxycodone & Naloxone 5&2.5mg three times daily. I am not feeling any better and want to come off these drugs.
Has anyone tried MIRO lotion or any other topical creams/ointments that they find helpful?

Hello @granniefrannie, Welcome to Connect. Haven't tried Miro lotion myself but thought you might want to scan through the following discussions to learn what others have shared that helps (or not):
-- Transdermal magnesium cream/lotion/ointment for peripheral neuropathy:

Have you discussed your question about wanting to get off of the drugs because they are not helping with your doctor?
