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.
Hi groucho,

I am wearing athletic shoes with soft inserts all the time and showering in teva sandals. My feet hurt too bad to hit the ground. Sometimes I take the noritryptline before bed and fall asleep within 20 minutes. If I watch tv, depending on how exciting it is, it could take an hour. There is gotta be something that alleviates the folded sock syndrome.
