I know my love but wots the alternative? I came off Pregablin for same reason- side effects. Actually, i dont know how long ill be able to tolerate the dose, but im one of those nightmare people who wake up thro anaesthetcis n need far much more than ordinary person to put me out.i seem to tolerate it well. I cant bear the pain - i recently tried it- came off most meds. Ooo! No way can i cope without pain relief.

Something i’ve Been told is that people with fibromyalgia have a medication intolerance- I am on Effexor and reacted to 37.5 for my first year, 1 year later I upped it to 75 and 3 years after I started taking it I’m at 150mg. So I try to start low on my meds because I have an intolerance to the strength. We also have a lot of medication sensitivities, so maybe try the gabapenten at a lower dose? I’m not sure

There are other pain meds than Gaba/nurontin. People can try different meds.

I get like that but before i was out on gabapentin they make me worse I think.i am only on 100mg to take one three times a day but ive jad t

This is part of the review of the initial Gabapentin study (twhat he linked article somewhat misrepresents). Apparently Gabapentin prevents new synapses formations that is why it might help with pain and seizures, this may not be a huge issue with adults but serious problem can be with pregnant women...

"noted that he and his colleagues found that gabapentin does not dissolve pre-existing synapses, but only prevents formation of new ones. That greatly diminishes gabapentin’s potential danger to adults. In mature human brains, astrocytes ordinarily produce very little thrombospondin, and adult neurons don’t form many new synapses, although some new synapses do continue to be formed throughout life — for example, in a part of the brain where new memories are laid down and at sites of injury to neurons, such as occurs after a stroke.

But the new findings raise questions about gabapentin’s effect in situations where synapse formation is widespread and crucial, most notably in pregnancies. The vast bulk of the brain’s synapses are formed during gestation and the very early months and years after birth. Because gabapentin easily crosses the placental barrier, it could potentially interfere with a fetus’ rapidly developing brain just when global synapse formation is proceeding at breakneck speed."
