gjensen Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 Darlene, I take Alpha Lipoic Acid. I stopped taking it night. It seamed to make my reflux worse. Taking it at lunch, I had not noticeable ill effects. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bellgirl Posted February 2, 2014 Report Share Posted February 2, 2014 I take it every other day, and do feel it burning some after taking it, but I take it in the morning after breakfast, and that makes it better for me, too; other than that, I've had no side effects.

TCP Posted February 3, 2014 Report Share Posted February 3, 2014 I take Alpha Lipoic daily to help heal the nerves as meds don't. I believe it helps with the micro-circulation around nerve endings and stops them dying off. I know it was trialled in diabetics at high doses of 600mgs+ and seemed to show improvement in neuropathic pain. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psalm 23 Posted February 6, 2014 Report Share Posted February 6, 2014 I take Alpha Lipoic Acid 600mg daily with breakfast. I have not noticed any side effects from taking it. I started taking it for neuropathic pain which it does seem to help. Not enough to completely discontinue my Gabapentin but I have at least been able to reduce the amount.
