Advice & Tips
Like all of my other medications, I write down the day, followed by the time, that I take the medication, and how much....so I don't accidentally OD on any of them. Sometimes I forget so all I have to do is look at my 'list' for the day. I write them down the minute I take them...even if away from home. When away from home, I only take what I need with me. I never keep prescription bottles in my purse with the full amount of medication in them. I keep all prescriptions in a safe, too.
Neurontin does help with my Fibromyalgia, but it is only very slightly. I take 400 mg 4 times a day and it does help it slightly, but it helps more with the nerve damage I have in my feet and in my legs.

Advice & Tips
Gabapentin only works for minior aches. I have found that when someone like myself has a severe case of Fibro, it doesn't work so well. But it does help to take the mild cases of pain that I have throughout the day between doses of Savella.
