Severe Periphereal Neuropathy Pain Medication

I currently take neurontin 900 mg and it is not working.

I also have tried lyrica, cymbalta and amitriptyline as well none worked. I have been able to tolerate neurontin as far as the drowsiness however the pain is still horrible.

Do any of you take additional pain medication ie., loratab, tramadol etc..

Doctor is reluctant to prescribe due to high rate of addiction
any suggestions???

Thanks
