For Postherpetic Neuralgia "Have been on this for over a month and each increase by my doctor provides no relief whatsoever. The last increase has resulted in severe dizziness, light-headedness, memory loss and forgetfulness, fatigue, racing thoughts during sleep, inability to sleep more than a few hours, and most importantly, no effect on the severe pain from postherpetic neuralgia. I will not be accepting another increase from the doctor, the side effects are intolerable, not to mention the side effects of weaning off this ineffective drug that I have yet to suffer."

For Fibromyalgia "I seem to get all of the side effects from medicines. In taking the smallest dose, it seemed to help at first, then I began to experience extreme dizzy spells caused by the Neurontin. I am now off and beginning a trial period of Cymbalta while I wait to see Rheumatology for more answers. Good luck to all."
