Hi there.

Read your query. I understand your concern.

As you mentioned you are having peripheral neuropathy, Neurontin ( Gabapantin) is indicated for neuropathy.

Apart from epilepsy, Gabapantin is also indicated and used commonly for neuropathic pain including peripheral neuropathy.

I hope this helps.

Take care.
