Who Has A Good Experience With Meds Other Than Gabapentin?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I'm currently on gabapentin but I don't think it's helping at all. I'm still in constant pain and my joints stay stiff. Not to mention it's given me a stutter. Everyone I've heard about Lyrica from says it's awful, but I know there have got to be people who benefit from it. Does Lyrica work for you? Is there anything else I should mention trying to my doctor?

Gabapentin gave me a stutter and made my body twitch all the time. I cut it back from 3 to one a day and i dont have that anymore but i dont think it does me any good at that dose. Im just afraid to stop taking it in case it does make a difference.

Gabapentin didn't help me either, so I stopped taking it. It made me stutter (which has sub sided since I stopped but the tremor is still present),

What are you wanting from this med? Are you asking about pain, muscle spasms? Gabapentin was bad bad for me and Lyrica didn't help anything. Cymbatal only gave me bad mood changes, so did Gabapentin. For pain I take Oxycodone, Morphine and Ibuprofen
