Peripheral neuropathy treatment

i was diagnosed with Pn 7 years ago and was told that it was due to many years of alcohol abuse. i have been TT for the last 6 1/2 years. I was perscribed Gabapentin and the dose has steadily increased to 2700mg a day but I still had bad nights. In desperation I ran the Gaba down to nil and replaced with 50mg of Amitriptylin at night. It, so far, seems to be working. Anybody have a similar experience?.
