Is 2400 Mg Of Neurontin The Right Medicine For Neuropathy?

Yes, I was diagnosed with nuropathy. I have severe burning and tingling in my legs and hands. I am taking 2400mg of Neurontin a day and this does not seem to be helping. Is there any other treatment you would suggest. I am not a diabetic, just have back damage
