Is there a role for the generic Gabapentin in the fight against fibromyalgia? Gabapentin is the generic for Pfizerâs Neurontin and is a medication thatâs used as an anticonvulsant and an analgesic. It was originally developed to treat epilepsy and is currently used to relieve neuropathic pain, shingles and restless leg syndrome. Now a new study a published in Pain Practice suggests that extended-release Gabapentin holds promise for treating fibromyalgia.
I just saw my neurologist again and we're now trying Lyrica, typically prescribed for fibromyalgia. I've only been on it two days, with a much lower dosage (was taking 1200mg gabapentin/day versus 75mg Lyrica once at night!) and much much much better results (I only take one or two 300mg gapabentins a day).
