One thinkI noticed last night is that I had the folded sock feeling in the left foot and it was red/purple and puffy on the bottom of my foot.
Have you noticed that your foot is discolored when you experience the folded sock syndrome?

I haven't noticed any discoloring on my foot. Are you wearing athletic, or comfortable shoes? I find that running shoes feel better, for me, than walking shoes. Less pressure on the folded sock area. My Navy buddy seems to be happy with the Nortrypteline, & since he's willing to consider upping the dose (he's on 10mg), that's saying something, as he hates to take pills for anything. He also has the folded sock. I understand the Nortryp makes you drowsy, & that's why it's taken in the evening. How long does it take before you're ready to call it a night?
I have symptoms any time I'm on my feet. I've cut back on the gabapentin from 1800mb daily to 900. My feet hurt extra while raising the dose & lowering it, too. Maybe because I unknowingly went beyond what actually was giving me maximum relief. Pretty uncomfortable today & it may stay that way until my nerves settle back down. I really want to hold off a little bit until I call the Neuro for a med change.
