You could always add on or switch to Lyrica. I found it very helpful after getting use to the many side effects, that eventually wear off. I hope you find this helpful.

Did you gain weight on Lyrica?
Does it help with your pain?

I did not gain any weight on Lyrica. To me it helps the most with the pain and really helps the burning in my feet. When I first started taking it I felt drunk all of the time and didn't find relief. After a month the pain was bearable and burning to a minimum (depending upon weather). By 3 months I realized I didn't feel super tired anymore and wasn't so clumsy. I really needed to increase the dose to get the full benefits of all day no pain, but I have problems with constipation so I couldn't increase. I hope this helps.

I take gabepentin, same dose as you, and Tramadol when I need it. I haven't gained any weight, but then again, I have colitis, so I don't always digest my food well. I had side effects in the beginning but don't really anymore. I do still have pain, but I feel (think???) it is much more manageable than before. Way less sleepless nights praying for reprieve.

My rheumy also recommended I start taking coq10 and encouraged me to start the paleo diet. I did both, though can't say I've noticed a difference.

Thanks so much for your reply twinomab!
I took Lyrica a couple of years ago for myasthenia gravis which I also have.
My eyes were twitching badly & my Neuro put me on it. It didn't help me at all with the twitching so I stopped it. I do remember however, feeling kind of blaugh while on it.
My fibro came out after I went off of predisone for MG. Than all the pain came! Predisone kept all pain at bay. But I hate Predisone! Made me gain weight. I won't go on it again.
Im on Cellcept now for the MG & it's been a life saver!
If only I could get rid of my pain
