Hi Bon @bonwalsh1, Welcome to Connect. I don't think you are alone not liking the side effects of gabapentin and Connect is a great place to connect with other members sharing your condition. There are many different discussions on fibromyalgia that might be helpful. Here's a list from searching Connect for "fibromyalgia what helps" that you might want to scan through to connect with others - https://connect.mayoclinic.org/search/?search=Fibromyalgia+what+helps.

Here's an article I found that might provide some additional suggestions if you haven't already seen it.

Did your rheumatologist offer any suggestions other than medications to help with the fatigue?

Hi there,
My Rheumatologist basically suggested a healthy diet and exercise for fatigue, and for fibromyalgia in general. Good "sleep hygiene" can also help.
