Is Neurontin Right Medication For Fibromyalgia?

hello, my name is Audrey I have been recently diagnosed with fibromyalgia. I was given a prescription for Neurontin 100 caps. I was reading about this drug because I am sensitive to Vicodin, percacet, and codein. So I also had a bad experience with Prozac. I put an extreme amount of weight on with in 6 months. So far what I have read about this drug Neurontin, there is not much evidence to indicate it will work in humans. What is your knowledge or advice on this drug?

Hello
Both Neurontin and Lyrica are very effective in treating the pain of fibromyalgia and there are plenty of medical reports and papers substantiating that fact.

I suggest you give the Neurontin a try Audrey
