I have battled fibromyalgia for 5 years, a year ago my Dr put me on a new med named Horizant, it is a gabapenin...but this has been a miracle med for me.
No but get ready for the pain, burning and neuropathy. I took it for 18mon. I have had fm for 5 years I'm not at a point I've been through all the prescribed drugs except narcartics, afraid of trading on problem for another.
The mental will begin to wear on you in time, get a good physichrist you'll need it.
My next step is looking at merino and or legal marijuana. The pain becomes unbearable.
I pray yours will not get this bad.
Hello, Jeannie! How are you?
Yes, it is best to slowly taper it, rather than just stop abruptly. A sudden withdrawal may also create the risk of seizures.
Has it been helping you? Have you experience any side effects? Why do you want to stop taking it?
