About diabetic neuropathy;

Detailed Answer:
Hello and thank you for asking!
There are many options of treatment when the maximum dose of a medication does not help.
Your physician may describe combination of 2 medications: Gabapentin and pregabaline, amyltriptiline+ gabapentine, in more severe cases tramadol can help.
Hope the information will help.
