R-Lipoic Acid for neuropathy

I take 900 mg a day of R Alpha Lipoic Acid (R ALA). That is 300 mg three times daily. As a result, I have been able to reduce gabapentin dosage in half, from 2400 mg daily to 1200 mg. My mild diabetic neuropathy is now pretty well controlled. I drink at least 8 oz of water with each R ALA capsule to avoid slight upset stomach.

Hi,
Have you by chance experienced any "facial flushing" as it's called? I take 200mg daily, because I JUST started this a week ago, and it seems to be helping my peripheral neuropathy in my feet (hands not so much) but I've been experiencing hot flash type feelings in my face.
