Can I try the new version of 525? I am 92 years old and have been on Gacapentin for several years with side effects and would love to not take them any more. slowly I am reducing the dosage from 1600 and now take 1200 a day and CBD at bedtime .My problem is mainly pain in my feet at night time which keeps me awake.Rachel Fields

Hello @fields123, I would like to add my welcome along with Chris @artscaping and others. I'm 78 and have been taking 525 and it's predecessor since 2016. I don't have the pain with my neuropathy but others members of the Facebook group have been able to taper off of the gabapentin and other neuropathy medications after being on the protocol for a short period of time - but each person is different and the amount of time is not the same. If you want to try it, I would recommend taking the list of ingredients and discuss them with your doctor before starting.
You can find the list of ingredients on the website under the Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs) - https://theprotocol525.com/faq/ --- "Active Ingredients: Protocol formula daily: B1 50mg, B2 50mg, B3 20mg, B7 20,000mcg, Flaxseed Oil 2000mg, na R ALA 1200mg, D3 4000 IU, Chelated Magnesium 200 mg, B12 lozenge 3000mcg, Folate 1200mcg, K2 200mcg, Acetal L Carnitine 1000mg, 3Tbs Organic Hemp Seed Oil".
They also have Hemp Seed Oil (HSO) Skin Therapy which I use nightly on my feet as a moisturizer. It seems a little pricey at $23 for a small 2 oz bottle but I only need a few drops at a time and I'm able to rub my feet for a few minutes with it until it is absorbed. I also wear loose crew socks when sleeping after putting the HSO oil on my feet which seems to help me. I have been getting a month or so out of each bottle.
Have you tried any kind of skin moisturizer on your feet at night or massaging them?
yes I take the CBD at bed time in liquid form. I have neuropathy at least 10 years.Was told to be the result of my back surgery. Since then recent surgery for a large bulg removal on my back a year ago.Have a brittle back bones .Had some cyatic pain after surgery and the dr increased the dose for the gabapentin. He suggested 1600 but now I reduced it taking 1200 but have side effects such as poor balance , personality changes ,need of sleep during the day.Was not told best way to take the Gabapentin .I take 300mg 2 times a day dinner time 400 and 2oo at bed time.Now with reducing the dosage more pain at night and poor sleep

Greetings @fields123, Congratulations on being 92 years old. How long have you had neuropathy? You indicate your are reducing the dosage of Gabapentin and replacing it with CBD at bedtime. Is that a CBD tincture you are using? That's what I do now also.....600 mg of Gabapentin and one dropper of a CBD/THC 2:1 dosage. I am so happy to introduce you to @johnbishop. He is the most knowledgeable person for the 525 protocol. You will be in good hands.
May you be free of suffering and the causes of suffering.
Chris
