I hope it works for you and it is certainly worth an attempt if you and your provider both believe the potential benefits outweigh the risks. It is one of the approved drugs for diabetic neuropathy, I'm unsure about generally.

I didn't tolerate 30 mg well at all. I tried it for one month. My neuro felt I could benefit from the increased energy as fatigue is a big side effect of my neuropathy along with discomfort, pain and so on.

I'd describe the discomfort as a mental version of someone pushing me in the back of the shoulder saying, "hey, buddy". I did not like it, did not wish to pursue it further, though I have alsoread that plenty of others have had success.

The good old results may vary.

Best of luck,

Jon
