Hi, I’m a small fiber neuropathy person (4 years) that over the last 6 weeks is losing foot use due to burning pain. I take 1800mg gabapentin daily. Will upping my meds help?
Thanks all and I wish folks well.

Hi @tedpellerin, Sorry to hear the neuropathy has gotten worse with the burning pain in the feet. Hopefully other members can answer your question about upping the gabapentin dose above 1800 mg and will it help. My guess is that it may or may not since each of us are different. There are a couple of other discussions you might want to view to see what others have shared on the burning pain.

Hi Ted,

Gabapentin did nothing for my neuropathy but Lyrica and Benfotiamine have helped a lot. A little more help has come from Primrose Oil and Alpha lipoic Acid but mostly L and B have helped a lot.
