A member asked:
I have just been diagnosed with sensory neuropathy so what can i do for the pain apart from neurontin (gabapentin)?

See details: Give the Neurontin (gabapentin) a chance. The response to this med is very dose related so a higher dose may end up being effective.

Find the cause: There are multiple treatments for the symptoms of sensory neuropathy. These include medications like neuron tin which you have been prescribed. There are also several antidepressants, seizure meds, pain meds. The most important step if you have been diagnosed with peripheral neuropathy is to determin the cause. This can include diabetes, autoimmune diseases, medications, b-12 deficiency, etc.
