I took it before I found out I have fm...My neuro tried it for chronic migraine and tension headache...it really didn't do a darn thing for me, other than give me significant muscle weakness and tiredness.
Gabapentin is the same "type" of drug as Lyrica in that it helps with nerve pain, but it is an older class of drug. Many times docs are prescribing it b/c the insurance companies won't pay for Lyrica unless you try this?
I hope it works for you, since it is much cheaper than Lyrica!
