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.

My Dr had me on gabapentin, didn't do much and caused swelling and rash. Dr stopped that and put me on Amitriptyline. It took several days to notice it helping but at 2 weeks, I felt huge difference. Still not 100% but grateful for the relief I have now. I was truly miserable for 4 months. Sensation is still annoying but not painful.
