Gabapentin
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Has anyone been prescribed gabapentin before? And what side effects have you suffered?

I said that Gabapentin never benefited me in the past. However, just to retest, I started taking it again yesterday. Lately I've had severe burning and pins and needles practically all over my body. My clothes, although soft, feel like sand paper against my skin. So yesterday I started with 100 mg 3x day. This morning I woke up actually feeling good. However, I also added an antiflamatory drug as well. So I'm not sure which one helped but I'm going to continue with both.

I take it .... it helps a lot, calms down my over sensitive nerve endings. I can only take them 300 MG at night or when home. It affects my memory big time, hopefully not long term loss. It definitely works though, it's my 'go to' for a good nights sleep.

Hi i have been on these pills since about sept last year, i have not noticed any thing to worried about, give them ago if you don't get on with them, go back to your gp and talk to them. Good luck.
