I am a 45yr diabetic with stage 2 kidney disease and severe diabetic neuropathy. My current neurologist has me on 4800mg a day my pharmacist at first did not want to fill the prescription until he verified it with the doctor.

One neurologist told me that the benefits of the drug stop after exceeding 2400mg also updated change in label of these types of medications.

I am currently up to 4800 mg a day and suffer from short term memory loss, hand tremors, weight gain, foggy head, dizzy and hot flashes see link below. I am in the process of switching to a different neurologist and considering switching to cymbalta or lyrica. My new neurologist has suggested trying Anodyne therapy (never suggested to me from my previous neurologist) he also ordered an arterial ultrasound to check my circulation.
