I’ve been through menopause and I didn’t get any relief from my symptoms, in fact, they got worse. I no longer had hot flashes. Yet, unlike many other pain syndromes, there is no physical evidence of inflammation or central nervous system damage.Although gabapentin has little, if any, effect on acute pain, it has shown a robust effect on pain caused by a heightened response to stimuli related to inflammation or nerve injury in animal models of chronic pain syndromes. Plus these doctors don’t care or listen to your bad side effects. However, I still had 600 mg pills left and (still not realizing the miscommunication) took 3 600mg pills at a time. For 6 months my pain level was a 15 (scale of 1-10) suicidal pain with no relief in site. I ma having a lot of anxiety now, and I cannot concentrate. “I've been taking 4.5 mg naltrexone for about 45 days. I take 5 mg Melatonin as a sleep aide and I’ve stopped taking most meds I was on for decades.

This lasted until about 6 weeks ago.

I get depressed mouth at times from Cymbalta, but then, Fibro caused me a lot of the symptoms all of you put onto Neurontin. Thinking I may either reduce or go off all together to see what happens.

Over the past year I’ve tried taking it several times.

Thanks for the article!Chris, I’ve been using it the same way for a few years — 300mg before bed. Someone mentioned a side effect of facial expressions person your lips to connect your tongue I rolling and I would just like to say that I honestly believe that is a side effect of fibromyalgia not Gabapentin because I used to do that a lot it drove my husband insane. Is it possible your chest pains are from anxiety. I have many of the symptoms you mentioned but not the sleep problem.

PEOPLE WAKE UP–STOP TAKING THIS DRUG. It made the difference between being incapable of getting out of bed, because of the muscle stiffness and pain, and being able to carry on working part time.

“This drug is a miracle drug for me. I have terrible insomnia as well. I tried increasing my dose, with another 100mg during the day, and literally could not stay awake during the day, it was awful.

I also have chiropractic treatment once a week and acupuncture every other week. I started out with 4.5mg daily at night and within 4 weeks my pain went down to around 2-3.” No bull. All I was doing was work, recover, and burn through an excessive amount of sick, vacation, and banked time. I am afraid of the pain I might have if I go off of gabapentin. Just my 2 cents… Most would say it isnt work 1 cent…You do know that actual scholars work on Wikipedia, yes? Scary, huh?! bad enough to have fibro but diarrhea on top is definitely not good!I took it for years.

All of this combined made me so miserable I couldn't grasp why I would need to go on. Started antibiotic therapy (described at Rheumatic.org/faq) in September 2010. I started noticing improvement after about 4 weeks. As with some other chronic pain conditions, people with fibromyalgia often develop a heightened response to stimuli, experiencing pain that would not cause problems in other people. I am more than interested in the Cannaboid treatment. The first tier level helped my pain tremendously yet when I started to go up to the second tier level, I developed suicidal ideation. After just 5-10 min doing exercise or work felt like I was going to pass out. After a few months I increased to the full capsule, and am doing ok, with decreased headaches a major plus, and better sleep (tho I still have to use a complicated technique till I drop off).

“Have had fibromyalgia for 22 years. Also a doctor gave me a shot of cortizone in the arm (I had mentioned that it helped when I had sciaptic nerve problem once in my back the previous year).Habit forming? nothing has worked other then tyelnol 3 codeine.

I’ve been prescribed Gabapentin for the neuropathy caused by the CS.

I am on what my doctor describes as the minimum dosage for adults: 300 mg once a day, at nighttime.

The one that bothered me the most was the loosening of all my ligaments and tendons. It was prescribed by my psychiatrist for my anxiety and panic attacks that went along with my PSTD and bipolar. 300mg of Gabapentin is not high. My wife is going through FM and trying out Homeopathic medication.
