The drug you are on now is not toxic PN wise....it is basically
potentially toxic to your whole body in other ways.

The newer form which you are using has less drug/drug liver interactions, but it still has the properties of carbamazepine.
While you have not been on it long enough for some of the major problems to manifest, you could still be intolerant of it in other ways. So don't hesitate to call your doctor.
Wearing warm clothing is not the same as soaking in a hot tub.
HOT stimulates the neurons for heat, which then cause most of the sensory PN symptoms.
People who cannot tolerate an ice pack (which is not the same as being COLD) often have RSD...which is a different form of neuropathy. An ice pack for PNers is only a 15-20 minute thing, it is not like being COLD in winter, etc. We are talking about
degree here.
