Seeking List of Treatments

Posted by bobc2 @bobc2, Sep 18, 2023

Does anyone know of a list of meds tried/used by doctors for idiopathic polyneuropathy? So far doc has said 200mg 4/day Magnesium Glycinate, 600 mg 2/day Alpha Lipoic Acid, and 100 to 300 mg Gabapentin at bedtime. My symptoms have rapidly increased in the last 8 weeks.

Interested in more discussions like this? Go to the Neuropathy Support Group.

In reply to @bobc2 "Thank you, Tom. How long did it take you to get to 3600 mg dose? Bob" + (show)

It was a long time since I stayed at each plateau level for awhile. First worked up to 900, then 1500, then 2400 then 3000 and finally 3600.
In total it was probably a year. Not because I had to take it that slow but because I stayed at each level hoping for results.
