Hi @wascaly - I think you might want to have a discussion with your neurologist or doctor about stopping gabapentin as it is only used to treat the pain caused by neuropathy and does nothing for numbness. There are no drugs that help with neuropathy numbness. Before I was diagnosed with idiopathic peripheral neuropathy, my primary care doc had me on gabapentin for a couple of weeks and I told her it wasn't helping with my numbness. She consulted with her Mayo doctor team and they told me it only works for pain. I was later diagnosed by a Mayo neurologist and he said the same thing, there are no drugs or topicals that help with numbness from neuropathy.

You might find some suggestions in another discussion here:
