I was diagnosed with Fibromyalgia 6 years ago after a toxin exposure. I recently had some flare ups so bad the pins/needles were back in both arms and legs. Finally they gave me Neurontin yesterday. Other than really knocking me out it relieved 80-90% of my pain. I did not take it this morning and am hoping by weekend to be on the 2x a day as doctor prescribed. I had the first full nights sleep in over 3 years. First time I could walk without pain in the morning. Did anyone else get really tired when first taking this?

I found that this medicine gave little or no effect in treating my fibromyalgia. However, since everyone's body chemistry is different it may give mild to medium relief. My sister has it also, gave her mild relief.

I was diagnosed with fibromyalgia, but I've always thought it was something hormonal and the doctors never paid attention to that. I have found a doctor that listened to me and I am now taking Neurontin for my severe PMDD (pre memenstrual disphoric disorder) It works! I have my life back. I never nap anymore. I am going all day - quite unlike me for the past 5 years.

It has made a great difference in my fibromyalgia. A lot less pain and it has given me more energy. I have been able to do things I thought I would never do again.

It has made a huge difference. I've tried everything including Lyrica, Elavil (which made me gain weight). Those were helpful but I get the best results with 600 mg Neurontin 3 x daily and flexeril 10mg 3 x daily or as needed.
