Tingling s/p TB Tx: Peripheral neuropathy is a side effect of R-Cinex. Gabapentin/lyrica may improve or lessen the pain. Would also check B12/folate electrolyte ( potassium ,magnesium, calcium ) level as low B12 may exacerbate the pain as may alcohol and heavy metal like arsenic/ lead and disease like diabetes, HTN. http://www.ninds.nih.gov/disorders/peripheralneuropathy/detail_peripheralneuropathy.htm
