Hi
Thank you for sharing. I am not taking it but most of the doctors try & push it on me & I say no. I am taking 300 mg of Gabapentin in the morning with 30mg Cymbalta & at night another 300 mg. of Gabapentin. I notice as time goes by I have to keep increasing to be able to function & I really don't want to do that. I have Idiopat Neuropathy, Stage 3 kidney disease, pancreitis, gastritis, copd, & abdominal adhesion's. I'm 70 & feel like a 100. I am getting depressed bc I'm a fanatic with housework & I can't keep up anymore.
I have heard bad side effects on the Lyrica & plus you gain wait so I will stay way from it. Thank you & God bless

Hello Genie,
“I am getting depressed bc I'm a fanatic with housework & I can't keep up anymore.”
Since both Gabapentin & Cymbalta sometimes cause depression and tiredness, could that possibly be part of the above problem?
Since your on such a low dose of Gabapentin does it actually help?
Just because Lyrica causes problems with many people doesn't mean you will have any problems with it.
Take care,
Jake
