My name is Vic.I suffer from peripheral neuropathy for about 15 years now take 2400 mg of Gabapentin daily. Feet pretty numb and now beginning to move to my fingertips. Dr. Is no help.. I believe that cause originally was a Statin Zocor switched to lipitor the last 10 years likely no difference.

Hi Vic @vik, Welcome to Mayo Clinic Connect. Sorry to hear that your neuropathy seems to be progressing to your finger tips. Gabapentin and other drugs prescribed for neuropathy only address the pain associated with neuropathy and do nothing to help with the numbess. Do you also have pain with your peripheral neuropathy?
