I've also been on the same dosage for the whole time. I'm on 400mg. per day and it has taken away all the tingling, burning, stinging, hot-poker type pain in my legs. It's been a life saver to me.
Just wanted to let you know about it, cause it really does work better. Ask your doc about it. All he can say is no. I hope he doesn't. God bless. hugs, Lee
