Anyone tried Gabapentin for Fibromyalgia?

I had an unusual side effect- the first night I was only supposed to take one pill and then each night increase it by one until I got up to six pills at night. The first night I took it. I woke up in my own bedroom and did not know where I was at for almost 10 minutes it was a horrible feeling! So I called the doctor next morning and she said oh you mind just has to get used to the medication so tonight take two. Well I actually only took one and I’m glad that I did that I was going to give it a fair chance. The second night I woke up in the middle of the night and not only did I , not know where I was. It took over a half an hour before I could register that I was in my own bedroom in my own house! So I decided that I did not want to get used to that medicine and not know where I was at it scared me because I really was befuddled!

Everyone is different but when I was diagnosed they tried every medication finally Gabapentin helped I eventually got up to 600 mg
3 times a day but it was years before that dose I guess I got use to it but all my symptoms are manageable Thank God the burning pain is gone I would lay in bed crying I felt like my whole insides were trapped in a fire
