Welcome to NeuroTalk:

At this point, I would ask you to get a blood test for B12.

I'd stop the complex 2 weeks before the test.

There are some considerations at this point.
1) if you have a genetic problem called Charcot Marie Tooth,
a drug may push you into symptoms if you have not had them previously. Most CTM patients however show some symptoms when young.

2) If you are low in B12 or use any other drug that is problematic for PN, your problem may be additive with it.

3) Since you don't eat meat...you could be low in B12...so that needs to be addressed.
