Thanks Lisa sounds like u know a lot about Fibro I never heard of that med just trying to get a handle on the different meds. Have a pain free night.

Neurontin (gabepentin) is one of the first meds that I took for pain. It helped me more than anything else. I have had fibro for 30 years and have back problems too. I am now on percocet. I took neurontin for several years until my knees started swelling. If you are on it, just be aware of side effects. I was on it 6 years before the swelling started. Good luck

I was first tried on gabapentin, which did decrease the number of flares to some degree. I still take it with cymbalta and Flexeril. I take a lot of other meds including anti-depressants, and pills for GERD and thyroid replacement. And Ambien for sleep. I'm a walking drugstore.

It takes 3 weeks to feel the full effects

Thanks for your input I hear you all the meds one needs to take. Crazy but we have to do what it takes to get thru the day. Take care & nice to hear from you & future chats.
