The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.
If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.
If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

You should check www.webmd.com for more detailed info and I think there was a press release a few weeks back about it.

I'm glad to hear it's working. I was on it for awhile but it didn't do any good. I've tried lyrica and it worked some.

Neurontin (gabapentin) made me dizzy and EXTREMELY forgetful of things I'd known all my life. Did the same thing for others I knew. I took it for vulvodynia/vestibulodynia though, and you may have a totally different outcome. It didn't work for the pain. Lyrica might do you better though...although it didn't work for me either (but it seems women with what I have don't respond well to nerve blocks).
Good luck!

Yes the gabapentin has helped my fibro.
My Dr would not put me on lyrica.
she said it was a stronger hard to get off of med.
so we are trying the gabapentin for a month.

Wow, pain free for a year! That sounds great. What exactly are they? I get TPI's, but after my shots they only last for about two months.
I take Neurontin. My doc says I have to be on it for six months before my insurance would cover Lyrica. But after being on Neurontin for six months now, it works pretty good. I will have to see what my doc says on my next appointment.

Lyrica didn't work for me. They only thing it did is make me want to eat constantly which is not a good thing, lol, I don't need a bigger appetite! Some folks have had a lot of success with it though, guess it just depends on the person?
