I received my neuropathy diagnosis over 30 years ago but can recall having symptoms as early as my 20's. I don't have diabetes. I took gabapentin for many years but when I got up to 3000 mg a day with declining results, my dr. switched me to Lyrica. I've taken 300 mg/day for about 4 years and am now experiencing an increase in pain. In the past, I've been able to ignore daytime symptoms but in recent weeks I have started having bothersome late afternoon tingling in addition to often being woken after a few hours sleep. I have an appointment with my dr. next week to discuss the issue.

Hi there Judyfrey I'm Johnmacc. I've have non diabetic pn since around 2015. At first my primary put me on gabapentin with increased dosages every few months. Didn't seem to help and we tried pregabalin for awhile and a couple others. Nothing was helping much so we decided to go back to gabapentin with high dosage. I'm currently at 3600 mg daily and that is helping cut the pain y 40-60% depending on time of day , my activities and how much load I'm placing on my feet. Hope that helps.
