I take Gabapentin...300mg. Suposed to take it 3x's a day but try to hold it to 1 at night to control the neuropathy in my feet. If I have a bad flair I will take 1 or 2 more. Other than making me tired, I haven't had any serious side affects and I have been taking it for a few years. I tried Lyrica but would get so depressed that it scared me and made my stomach really painful. It did help with the pain but the stomach issue was more imortant to me. I tried Cymbalta but had to stop it....I stopped having bowl movements and stopped urinating...thought I was going to die! I went to the eye doctor and the tech was asking me what I meds I take and we got into a conversationabout the Cymbalta and she told me that her mother died taking it as her doctor would not pay any attention to her side affects. Scared the poop out of me so I stopped and refuse to take it. Good luck with your meds. At times it seems that the war with the meds is worse than the Fibro. You really have to be your own advocate.

I take 2000mg a day but I have no side effects that I noticed. I've been on it a very long time. I take flexeril for muscle pain

I used to take cymbals but alot of bad things about it so I stopped taking it also

Thank you everyone for you answers. I have a lot to think about.

I take 600 mg 3x daily...it does help. Withdrawals are bad if u try to come off of it though
