Default Allopurinol and PN
We have weened off Allopurinol in the past with no change in symptoms. I'll mention again to the Neurologist.

Allopurinol is on the list of drugs that can cause PN.



Allopurinol is not used as much now as in the past. So therefore not many people would be in the pool, to report serious issues.

The only way to test the PN link is to stop the drug for a while.
Please discuss this with your doctor, before doing it yourself.
