Hii
I admire you for positive outlook.
peripheral neuropathy in alcohol addiction is due to vitamin B complex deficiency.
In vitamin B complex particularly thiamin deficiency.
So need to supplement it.
initial daily I.V injection of thiamin 100 mg for 1 week.
After that daily oral dose of thiamin 100 mg for 3 months.
Please continue pregabid forte.
Thank You.
