He believes our neuropathy may have been caused by possible exposure to Agent Orange, but I have reason to doubt that my own was. It will be another few days before I'm down to 300mg 3x daily on the gabapentine & want to stay at that level for a week or 10 days, just for a reference. Then I'll call my Neuro & he will phone in a prescription for the Nortriptyline for me. So, keep an eye on this thread, and thru me, you can see how another fellow is doing. Might pick up someone else on the way. You never know.

FYI: During my latest increases on the gabapentin, in search of relief, I went from 300mg 3x daily to 400mg 3x daily and again to 600mg 3x daily. During the last 2 increases, I had new strange feelings in my feet. Also some foot joint pains during my last increase & again during the reduction. After my nerves settled down, I felt little change in the "folded sock". The tingling, pins and needles, and burning wee less bothersome to me than the "folded sock", but don't care to get them back until I'm ready to try the N.
