:oHi

Ive been taking Gabapentin for 10months and found it relieved the pain associated with Fibromyalgia. Unfortunately I have gained about 12 pounds in weight since I started taking it and feel the is the most serious side effect for me.

    I have also been taking gabapentin for about a year because I have serious pain following THR. I take 600mg, morning, lunch and dinner, then 900mg at night, (2700mg daily). Also I have prescribed paracetamol 8 tabs daily and codiene 6 tabs daily. No bad side effects except that I'm also gaining weight and seeing my GP tomorrow to discuss it.
