I take the same as you but I take 2 600mg gabapentin at a time. I use only 1 Hydrocodin at night. I was finding 3 Hydrocodin a day was making me forget more than a 72 yo. I put a regular pain cream on my feet at night like Lidocaine, Bengay or Aleve. I was using a Australian made cream but too expensive $31. I still have. some pain I know this won't go away and there is no cure so after reading that B6 B12 can help I will ask my doctor to test my levels before I start taking it.

Hi @2blinddogs, Welcome to Connect. I don't think @mightybear is still following Connect as their last post was in 2019. It is smart to check with your doctor before adding any supplements. It sounds like your neuropathy treatment is not managing your pain in the feet well and you are still looking for something that might help provide more relief. The Foundation for Peripheral Neuropathy has a list of complementary and alternative treatments people with neuropathy have found helpful here - https://www.foundationforpn.org/treatments/.

Have you tried any other treatments?
