It causes dependence.

Detailed Answer:
HI

Thanks for posting your query.

Yes it can be used but it can dependence , means once you start using it your body will become dependent on it .

I would recommend using Pregabalin or Gabapentin which gives good relief in neuropathy and doesn't cause dependence .

Also are you on any medication for Vasculitis ?

Kindly let me know .
