Neurontin may/may not help with fibromyalgia. Not giving advice here but just suggestions to mention to doc.

Thanks I was on Neurontin for at least a year awhile back for BP. I was surprised when I heard it was used for pain b/c it didn't do anything for me. I'm really resistant to meds which sux. But what I'm taking for BP now seems to be working so thank God for that!
Lyrica I took for either BP or depression? I think its an antidepressant. It didn't work. When I went to my latest Rheum(sp?) dr. He said something about wondering if I had taken a high enough dose of Lyrica, but then wouldn't prescribe it? I'll admit I didn't really insist.
He's just told me take Vit. D and get massages. He tells me how he loves to get massages and how great they are for you. DUH!
I tried getting massages 1x/week for a few months. The MT was really good, but it didn't help. Everyday probably would have!
Maybe if I was a rich doctor I could afford to get them more often. I don't know how I found the money to pay for what MT I got. He sent me to PT didn't work either.
I haven't been back to see him in months. I just give up sometimes.
