Hi there.
Read your query. I understand your concern.
As you mentioned you are having peripheral neuropathy, Neurontin ( Gabapantin) is indicated for neuropathy.
Apart from epilepsy, Gabapantin is also indicated and used commonly for neuropathic pain including peripheral neuropathy.
I hope this helps.
Take care.
