Oh gawd. I am in sooooo much pain. I mean, way way more than usual. I know this is long, and I'd really appreciate any input you have...

I'm in the midst of titrating off of Neurontin/Gabapentin. This is the worst thing ever. EVER, and I've broken both my feet (twice each) and had major jaw surgery ( Read more... )

Hello everyone, I'd like to make a quick update as a response to the post I made earlier about panic and anxiety on Neurontin (Gabapentin is the generic name).
(earlier post link hereI'll of course call my prescribing doctor on Monday for more information. I was posting to the community to see if anyone has had this specific side-effect whilst ( Read more... )

Okay folks, got a med question for you. I am up to 2-300mg tablets thrice daily (so, 600mg 3x per day or 1800mg per day) and while it's helping with the muscular pain (woo!) the emotional roller coaster? Not liking this so much.

I'm having horrific panic attacks. Like, complete emotional fail. Just... shit ain't happening ( Read more... )

 Hello everyone!

I was wondering if anyone here gets crazy dizzy...i guess like vertigo.

I temporarily stopped taking Neurontin/Gabapentin so I could take some other stuff.  Maybe it's withdrawl, but I can't find any good info on withdrawing from it.  I've heard its really easy to go off of.  I'm hoping to start it again on Monday and I don't have ( Read more... )

I just started gabapentin about a month and a half ago.  At first I felt like Super Woman.  Not healed, but without all of those crazy blippy pains that happened all over and drove me nutz.  It was amazing because I could sit though a 2 hour lecture without major issues.  I was on cloud 9.  Now, I'm not so sure.  Nothing definate going on, just ( Read more... )

Hello all, I've finally decided to post after lurking for about two weeks. I'm so happy this community is here, because I have no local friends with fibromyalgia and it's hard to talk to anyone else about it, as I'm sure you guys know ( Read more... )
