Hi
So, I’ve been diagnosed for a number of years and have been taking a number of different meds. My GP stopped my Tramadol and started me on Gabapentin. Which I have taken for months and months. I then received a telephone call yesterday from my GP advising me that they don’t recommend this drug any more for FM due to adverse health risks. I am also taking amitriptyline as a muscle relaxant at night to help me sleep. GP says a possible antidepressant could work instead of Gabapentin but could react with the amitriptyline.
what views do you have or what meds do you take that work please? I’m slowly coming off the Gabapentin but anxious of the pain
