Hi lexie,

I take gabapentin and it is the best pain relief i have tried , i still take cocdamol but i really couldnt do without my gabapentin now.

It is supposed to be addictive though and i have put weight on but i would rather that than be in agony.

Hi i am on pregabalin which i take twice a day, i have only been on them since last year at the mo they are still testing which dose would be best for me at mo i'm on 150mg. one thing i have noticed is weight gain and hair loss but it does help with the blocking of pain not totally but i'm better with it than without it. short term memory's really bad though don't know if its the tabs or just another symptom of the Fibro.

i think if i gain more waight i will pop x but i am waiting to see a consultent yet again ... in the last 12 years i seen him 2s anyhow see what he saids ....

thanks for all your answers
