Hi

Welcome...

The medications for neuropathy are slow acting. They take atleast 2 weeks to show some effect.

So since how long are you on neuropathy medications. If you are on these medications for more than a month and if there is still pain then you can increase gabapentin 300mg to 3 times a day . Watch for 2 weeks and revert back.

Also make sure that your blood sugars are monitored frequently and in control
