Hello John. So na-r-ala is better than r-ala? I know reading about regular ALA learning that it was kind of worthless, first time learning about na-r-ala. Well, I believe burning in feet is ruining my outlook on life terribly. Can't even focus anymore, this burning is totally different than numbness. Also I am probably going to get a new Dr. In the past few months when this feet burning started, my Dr first put me on Xanax , 1/2 mg a night for 90 days. Well after just 4 1/2 weeks I noticed I was having withdrawal symptoms during the day. Bad ones. Confusion, plugged ears, heart palpitations, etc.. almost every symptom possible. I had to research myself to find out that I was having something called interdose withdrawl. I have had same Dr for 13 years. He knows my history of taking 60 mg a day of opiates due to back pain and several different surgeries through body from being a concrete worker for 26 years. I tapered myself off of the last year. So he knows my history of a physically dependent body. I went to his office a couple weeks back and was telling him about my blood pressure being low, 93/63, and still taking losartan 100mg. Why am I taking blood pressure med on that it is so low? He literally said to me , well Jerry, your taking Gabapentin, Ambien, and Xanax, all sedatives, part of reason pressure is so low. Immediately my thought was you gotta be kidding me, you just said that, you are prescribing them to me. Well, went to a psychiatrist and the Doctor agreed with me that I should have never been prescribed Ambien, or Xanax with my background, and She never would have prescribed me these medications unless it was short term, 2 weeks or less. Trusting Doctors is tough for me right now.
