I am sorry I was put on Cymbalta and then Flexeril right away and I am still on both and my only side effects is tiredness so my doctor has me take it at night which helps me sleep most nights I do have a few bad nights lately that has been my back.

I've been on gabapentin for a long time my body fast gets used to what ever I take so at moment am taking 1200mg 3x daily along with other nerve and painkillers, I sometimes feel it's not working until I miss doses then I feel the impact, I have on a negative gained weight so working on that for a moment , good luck remember no person is the same with fibromyalgia you have to try things and combinations that are best for you x

In my experience, Lyrica has been more effective than Gabapentin - everyone is different though...

I take it and remember when I started it the muscle pain stopped almost at once. I still take it. I have gained weight but I also am 72 and have other medical conditions that restrict a lot of exercise. Almost all meds, and herbal products, have side effects.

I use to take the Gabapentin but it causes you to retain weight, though it works.
