Dapsone is a drug with many potential side effects, some very serious.

This link lists them all:

Quote:
Peripheral neuropathy is a definite but unusual complication of Dapsone therapy in non-leprosy patients. Motor loss is predominant. If muscle weakness appears, Dapsone should be withdrawn. Recovery on withdrawal is usually substantially complete. The mechanism of recovery is reported by axonal regeneration. Some recovered patients have tolerated retreatment at reduced dosage.
Dapsone is a treatment for dermatitis herpetiformis....did you take it for that? This dermatitis is a gluten connected skin eruption. Have you been evaluated for gluten intolerance at all?

Your supplements may work, still... toxic neuropathies sometimes involve mitochondrial damage in the cells, and your list is typically used for that.

I would get Vitamin D testing too.
