      I find that for us, it can reduce anxitey but sometimes cause flares in our fibro!

          @phxrat yes but I don't recommend it for everyone. I feel that it's best for me for the moment

        @Shahidah maybe you might want to ask your doctor if you can have a higher dose. The higher dose in the US is 1200 mg... 3 times a day..

      Gabapentin when I first started taking gabapentin, it showed little effect. But when I continue taking it it finally worked for me I had no pain in my bones are in my muscles or in my skin or my hair. I had fibromyalgia but I no longer have it with mental illness., It has steady the depression.

        @purplewildflower what do you mean you no longer have FM? It’s a chronic disease you can’t just “in have it” - it can be in remission. If someone told you that you had it but now don’t then you were misdiagnosed

          @MimiPam I no longer have the symptoms of fibromyalgia. I believe if I continue taking gabapentin I will be in remission.
