Any chance you are taking this for Fibro? If so, can you share more about your experience with each drug, such as dose etc? I was recently diagnosed with Fibro and don't know what medication to start on for pain. I am afraid of taking anything that has serious withdrawal side effects but need to find something.

Two years ago I had acute sciatica. I never experienced such excruciating pain in my life, 24/7. It felt like a hot iron was on my shin and thigh. Gabapentin made my pain worse. My husband’s colleague told me Lyrica was the only thing that helped her Sciatica. The first night I took Lyrica, I slept thru the night after suffering for 3 months. It was like a miracle! It helps nerve pain. I don’t know why my orthopedist did not recommend it!!!!!
Doctors, love prescribing Gabapentin. I think it’s a terrible drug!
