I am currently taking 600 mg 4x a day. Have noticed some pitting edema in the lower extremities and my fingers look like snausages. I am going to taper the Neurontin down to a dose where I can tolerate both the pain and the side effects. My doc from CC told me to start Alpha lipoic acid 600 mg a day to see if that helps with the burning / pain. What I would really like to do is stop the neurontin all together and see if it is helping at all. But then, I am too chicken to take the chance. Going to look up some of the old posts and find the supplement regimen that alot of folks are on and see if I can go to that completely. Plus........have gained at least 10 pounds since January. Never saw that happening until BLAM.....next size up, please when I recently went shopping.
