Advice & Tips
I really do enjoy taking this medication for my Fibro because most of my Fibro is located in my legs and back. I also had surgery done on my feet which messed up the nerves in them and the Neurontin has really helped with that. My dosage might be lowered, but it still helped(s) a lot. I really think this is one of the better medication out there for the "middle of the day" treatment for Fibro.

Advice & Tips
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.

The only benefit I get is that it works well with my savella.

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.

Advice & Tips
Neuro suggested I take 3 capsules 3x a day. 2700 mg is too much and I was concerned about affects on my liver. Later dr suggest 1x twice a day and 3 cap before bedtime to help me sleep and for pain. After about a month that dosage of medication didn't ease pain.
