Lyrica messed with my mind. I could hardly make complete sentences. Gabapentin hasn't help with the fibro much but I think helps somewhat with restless legs. I am going to a different physician on the 9th and hopefully she will be of help. I have to use a walker now and it is very depressing.

I am not on either one but get the same symptoms. I think these blogs are good for me It makes me feel good because I know I am not going crazy!!!!

I didn't have electrical impulses but I did have the other symptoms :( I was only on it for a short while and couldn't tolerate the side effects esp with work. Now on duloxetine, not much difference but a little better.

I was on lyrica for a short while along with my current medication (cymbalta) My rheumatoid DR did say it will send those feelings through your body and it is normal. I recommend Cymbalta over anything else I was paralyzed because of Fibromyalgia and my muscles deteriorating for about 5 months until they put me on Cymbalta and my legs started returning back to normal almost a week into the meds.

I know I'm not crazy because my family can feel the impulse if I'm hugging them or holding their hands. I just don't know how to find any relief. Has anyone found anything that helps?
