      @Joliz Yes I’ve had same experience with Trimagnesium. I need the 3 types of magnesium. The citrate or sulfate(?) did not do it for me

      I’m on gabapentin for nerve pain in general but I take 300 mg 3x daily. For muscle spasms I take tizanidine.

      I'm on 300mg 3 times a day for fibromyalgia and don't feel like it does much,I have other conditions aswell though but I find most pain relief useless

      I’ve was on 800 mg 3 x a day for supposedly fibromyalgia and it didn’t do anything for me. Not saying it won’t help you, but I personally don’t think I have fibromyalgia, I think I’ve been dismissed and diagnosed with this, because doctors don’t take time with you anymore, at least mine doesn’t. I’m still searching for answers. I really hope it helps for your pain though!!!

      I was on gabapentin 300 mg twice per day for nerve damage (right back area)caused by a lung biopsy… it made me feel loopy… and has now affected my vision… but no, it never really worked for the pain..

      I take Gabapentin 400 mg three times a day. I don’t think it helps. I take for anxiety!

        @Imitrexqueen Gabapentin does not work for anxiety 😳

      I take 600mg of Gabapentin twice a day for fibromyalgia and general pain and it doesn't work for me.

      I get leg spasms at night and started on Trimagnesium-1/daily. Did not completely eliminated spasms but lessened frequency and severity. You can get it online

      I take Gabapentin 400mg 3 times a day for nerve pain and anxiety and I notice it helping with the anxiety.

      I take Gabapentin 600 x2 daily and an 800 at night for my RLS. It somewhat works for me, but not when it is really bad! I am almost wondering if I was misdiagnosed or something because I hurt all the time!

        @Kadair I know I have MS, and just assumed it was the lesions in my spine causing the spasms in my ribcage. I might just need to keep working on upping my dose!

        @Kadair I hurt all the time too 😥

          @Liffy43 it sucks hurting all the time! Half the things I use to do, I either have to limit myself or not do at all!
