**Purposes:** Unable to function and Fibromyalgia *(Started Feb 15, 2010)*
Date	Dosage	Unable to function Perceived effectiveness	Fibromyalgia Perceived effectiveness	Side Effects	Adherence	Burden
Dec 04, 2011	900 mg Daily	None	None	None	Always	A little
Jun 24, 2011	900 mg Daily	Slight	?Can't tell	Moderate	Always	A little

Date: Dec 04, 2011
Advice & Tips: I've done my research on Gabapentin and anything over 1800mg is a waste of medicine and money. If it doesn't work at this dose it won't help you. You need to take it at this dosage for at least one month to make this determination. Both my MDs and my homeopathic ND agree.
Cost: < $25 monthly

Date: Jun 24, 2011
Advice & Tips: Have not taken it at the current dosage as of yet, Rheumy told me to add more as I go along since I have trouble with fatigue and I was concerned that taking 300mg 3x a day would have me in bed all day because I have only been taking the Gaba at night. Rheumy says at 100mg tabs I can add slowly to build it up without being tired. My hope is my fatigue and pain levels will be more positive.
