Suggest Treatment For Painful Neuropathy In Hands And Feet

I have chemo induced neuropathy in my hands and feet which at times is nearly debilitating, especialy in the mornings and until I ve had m noon dose of 600 mg of hydrocodone and 900 mg of gabupentin. I m also taking venlaxiphine and amitriptoline to help manage the pain. What are some non-addictive drugs equal in pain aleaviation or at least alternative options that will not destroy other organs in my body?

pretty much anything that is a nerve pill MIGHT work.
You have, however, tried most of them gabapentin/amitriptiline there's also pregabalin, lidocain patch, cathepsin . Worth perhaps a try would be circulation modifiers if the hands change color due to circulation. These are ALL very safe.
hydrocodone at sixty times the usual 10 mg maximal dose is not so safe but I suspect you are not actually taking an entire bottle at noon.
I find this answer helpful
