Lyrica N Gabapentin
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

So my doctor wants me to try lyrica but he wants me to do it slowly this means I'll be taking lyrica n gabapentin at the same time. I didn't think u could.
Has anyone taken both?

Lyrica messed me up really bad and made me have a manic episode and not sleep for days and they said it was due to the medication. I know it works for everyone different but be very careful! I didn't take those both at the same time but again be careful maybe get a few more opinions

Well I've read all ur comments n also read comments on the internet. The gabapentin is working I don't want to mess that up. Plus not many ppl have good things to say about lyrica. The only reason I wanted to try it was maybe just maybe I could lose weight. But I think I'll stick with gabapentin. 💜 thank u everyone hope ur day is going well

I also take Lyrica and Gabipentin.
After some trial and error, my doctor has me trying 75mg Lyrica in the morning and 300mg gabipentin at night. It's the strongest I can handle with the fatigue being so severe. I started off with the Lyrica and found by noon my nerves endings were going crazy I couldn't stand it so she suggested gabipentin.
