Neurontin and spasms - Fibromyalgia Message Board

Hi there, have anyone tried Neurontin. I have severe muscle spasms in my neck/upperback/shoulders. Currently taking 120mg dihydrocodeine twice daily. Only thing that makes the pain unbearable,but wants to take me off it with suboxone and put me on neurontin. The birth of my son triggered the severity of the pain. He was born 9 months ago.

Hi,

I took Neurontin for several month this year and last. It helped me sleep, but didn't do much for my pain, but then I wasn't on a very large dose. I stopped taking it because it made me a bit hung over during the day, and since I work full time I really need to keep my wits about me.

But don't let me put you off trying Neurontin. I know it has helped some people and everyone is different.
