Anyone tried Gabapentin for Fibromyalgia?

Posted by ripley @ripley, Oct 18, 2023

I've had fibromyalgia for almost two years. Each flare seems to get progressively worse. I'm trying to figure out what medication to try with the least amount of side effects and withdrawal issues. Has anyone tried Gabapentin? If so, what was your experience?

I can’t use gabapentin because I swell up too much but I do use Lyrica for my fibromyalgia and it works wonders for me and I am on the lowest I can possibly be on

Would not recommend Gabapentin I had some scary side effects. I have noticed others on here have too. Everyone is different, but that’s my opinion

What is your dose of Lyrica? What symptoms does it help with? Thanks.
