Hi all, does anyone here take either of these drugs for their FND? My symptoms are chronic pain, facial spasms, jerks/twitchiness, spasms, etc. My symptoms started after a car accident, viral illness, and concussion. I have been taking gabapentin for 5 months.. cymbalta I tried and it made me feel 10x worse so i stopped it.

I took Cymbalta with no change to symptoms and it made me feel very unwell. I was offered Gabapentin which I chose not to take as I was concerned about the side effects.
