I'm not against the treatment itself; it's that particular med that I wasn't too keen on trying. I did try another one and, for a time, it worked well but later on it gave me strong stomach cramps that lasted for hours every day. Plus I gained 9 lbs. in a matter of weeks. Ugh. I tried to wait it out for several weeks w/no success so I had to stop taking it. I do know that there are some people who have successfully gone this route for neuropathy and I wish I was one of them but, unfortunately, I'm not.
