TRY this! After trying a number of RX's I have found that a combination of Gabapentin and a supplement called ALA (alpha-lipoic acid) works best for me.
When I read ALA is approved in Germany as a prescription for diabetes and nerve-related symptoms, I tried it - and it was a godsend. No more needle-sticking pains in my feet, it's worked great, and has helped me for over 2 years.
I take my Rx of Gabapentin X3 a day (as written) and add one single 600mg of the ALA at each dose (morn, noon, night).
I buy ALA at GNC, I like their version's vanilla scent (be sure & sign up for the GNC card, and always buy in the first week of the month - big discounts!).
