Yes I am on gab. It worked well for awhile then I started to get glittery it is making me gain weight swells up my wrist and ankles sharp pains on my right leg on top of the fm pain. I found tramadol the best but the idiot Doctor took me off . Because it's considered a habit control substance. I feel more habit forming with gab. Never felt that way with tramadol . I had no side affects with the tramadols. I also spread pain lotion to try to give my liver and kidneys a break from the pills. I am taken a natural sulfur flakes. It called msm. That has helped as well. Regardless what I am taking or doing or eating. The flares ups come and go through out the day. Sometimes bearable sometimes not moving at all.

The only problem I have is weight gain, hate that part.

I have been on it for years and swear by it! It helps me with the tingling and pins and needles feelings that I get. When one of the idiot doc's here on base took me off it I couldn't sleep cause the tingling was so bad, and as soon as I demanded to be put back on it the tingling went away. Its not a pain med. so your not gonna feel instant relief from it. It helps with the nerves. Are you having problems with tingling? Or shooting pains ?
Like WayneFrost said everyone is diff but it has done wonders with me. I'd give it a shot but you need to give it time to work, you can't just take it for a week and give up on it.
I hope this helped. And I hope it helps you!

Hi hun I'm on 600 3 times a day and I don't think it helps a great deal but it can take the edge off the stiffness xx

I was thinking it was just me who gets drowsy when taking it.
I'm afraid medication is trial & error for each of us. I could tolerate more or less of a certain med than someone else can.
If offered it, trial it for yourself.
