A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Before going to bed I take 2 X 100mg Gabapentine 2co-codormol and 10mg Amitriptyline supposedly to relax the muscles . So why do I wake up in so much pain

I recently started taking Amitriptyline 10 mg and plan to increase it once I am weaned off Cymbalta. I find it very helpful for sleep, and apparently that is the most important thing to tackle with Fibro. I also take Tramadol. Gabapentin did not help me at all.

I have taken 9 300mg of gabapentin a day for over fifteen years. That's the max. I stopped taking it once because I couldn't FEEL anything that i could pinpoint that it was working. I couldn't believe how painful it was without them, so I am taking these to this day and have no plans to stop. Maybe EVER! Great stuff for Neuropathy as well.

I should add that I still wake up in pain everyday. The first 30 min or so is brutal! My legs and feet are so stiff and sore I can barely get down the stairs!!
