Members shared their experiences with Gabapentin (Neurontin) for fibromyalgia pain, with dosages ranging widely from 300mg once daily to as high as 1250mg every eight hours, demonstrating that there is no one-size-fits-all approach. Several members described discovering how much the medication was helping only after attempting to stop it under medical supervision, with many emphasizing the importance of working closely with a doctor to find the right dose while being patient with the adjustment process. A recurring theme was the trial-and-error nature of pain management, with some members finding Gabapentin more tolerable than alternatives like Lyrica or sodium valproate, though others noted it provided only partial relief for symptoms like neuropathy, neuralgia, and migraines.

Hi there, I take gapapentin 800mg 3 times a day. I did try Lyricia but had a lot of side effects so went back to the gabapentin. I have tried to come of it as i didnt think it was doing much but soon found out how much it was doing. I also take Panedeine forte for my headaches and some times Endone. My experience has been positive.
