Sorry for your situation, Blue, but you have much company here.
I'll echo what people have been saying about RLA/ALA. I've tried a jillion supplements, an RLA is the only one I think really gave me some improvement.
Here is the one I take:

How long had you been on neurontin? When I tried it, the first week was a little rough, and like you, I was wiped out and had brain fog. That did go away with some time.
Morton's Epsom Salt lotion and lidocaine patches offer me relief as well. The latter are prescription only.
Stick with us for support and suggestions.

Neurontin helps to a certain degree, but makes me too tired. I don't know what else to do. I've been clean from drugs for a year, but the neuropathy hasn't gotten any better. I still do drink sometimes, but I don't think it's enough to cause any harm. I want to find a job and move on with life, but the burning pain has me frustrated, angry, suicidal, and depressed everyday. I need advice. Thanks.
