Anyone tried Gabapentin for Fibromyalgia?

My Dr prescribed it for my arthritis in my knees. It does nothing for that. Taking it every night does not ward off flare ups but once I have a flare it calms it in three days. First day half the pain second day half again and third day it’s usually gone.

So you only take it as needed? What dose do you take? Once you are pain free after 3 days of taking it, do you stop taking it then? Thanks.

Hello,

I have been on it for her a year. It helps tremendously but I have gained a lot of weight from it. I am also noticing a lot of water retention recently. Unfortunately I have to lower my dose due to these side effects. It really has helped my nerve pain and also my fibromyalgia and migraines.
