I discovered that I couldn't tolerate either Lyrica or Gabapentin. I would take at night and wake up to use the bathroom and be unable to get there without falling. They gave me severe vertigo, even at minimum dose. I have other relatives that can take grams of the stuff, no problem. I ended up finally using MMJ and CBD oil.

@mayonaise28 I started on Gabapentin that did nothing, then went to Lyrica that also did nothing to stop the burning. My third medication is cymbalta, which I am currently taking . The first few weeks it worked great, no burning. After a few weeks the burning returned but not as severe so increased dosage, I did this again after another few months, increased dosage. The burning is back quite severe but refused to increase dosage again that my neurologist suggested. It just masks the pain. I was reading that methylated B12 drops help to repair the nerves and started on that a week ago while still taking 60 mg of cymbalta. I want to get off medication because of the side effects and that is no longer working. I’m hoping the B12 drops taken under the tongue will work. 🙏
