I was prescribed gabapentin for neuropathy but opted not to take it after reading the possible side effects. The neuropathy can be annoying but I felt the side effects of the gabapentin would be worse. Other drugs have been suggested (Lyrica comes to mind) but none ever seemed worth the possible side effects. Alpha Lipoic Acid was also recommended (OTC drug, no prescription required). The alpha lipoic acid that I picked up also had L-Carnitine in it. I took it for a while and didn't see any improvement so I discontinued it. Maybe I didn't take it long enough, I don't know. I don't recall any negative side effects from taking it though.

How bad is your neuropathy? Could you get by without taking anything?

I'm sorry you're having to deal with this on top of everything else. I'm sending you good vibes and I remember you in my prayers. hugs
