Changed me for the worse 07/16/16 Reviewed by: Location Not Given This medication did help Randomised, double-blind trials of eight weeks’ duration or longer for treating fibromyalgia pain in adults, comparing gabapentin with placebo or an active comparator. Two independent review authors extracted data and assessed trial quality and risk of bias. I had just been diagnosed with SFN (small fiber neuropathy) and was given gabapentin. It pretty well knocked me out during the day so my neurologist had me take it only at night. Replacing it appropriately with medical cannabis has taken some time. In May 2016 we searched for clinical trials where gabapentin was used to treat pain due to fibromyalgia in adults. We found one study that met the requirements for this review. The study tested 1200 to 2400 mg/day of gabapentin compared with a placebo over 12 weeks, in 150 people. Key results Selection criteria: Randomised, double-blind trials of eight weeks' duration or longer for treating fibromyalgia pain in adults, comparing gabapentin with placebo or an active comparator. Data collection and analysis: Two independent review authors extracted data and assessed trial quality and risk of bias. The medications used to treat fibromyalgia include antidepressants (amitriptyline, nortriptyline, fluoxetine, paroxetine, duloxetine, milnacipran), a few anti-seizure medications (gabapentin Selection criteria: Randomised, double-blind studies reporting the analgesic and adverse effects of gabapentin in neuropathic pain or fibromyalgia with assessment of pain intensity, pain relief, or both, using validated scales. Participants were adults. Gabapentin, a generic for Neurontin, is frequently prescribed for fibromyalgia. This drug has been shown to reduce pain, but it does have a number of drawbacks. I’ve been on gabapentin for over two years and it does provide some relief, but I’m concerned about the side effects. This review replaces part of an earlier review that evaluated gabapentin for both neuropathic pain and fibromyalgia, now split into separate reviews for the two conditions. This review will consider pain in fibromyalgia only. The authors concluded that pregabalin, at a dose of 450mg daily, was most likely to be effective in treating patients with fibromyalgia, but adverse events were not negligible. Further evidence was necessary to clarify these conclusions. Given the unclear quality of included trials, the authors' cautious conclusion and recommendations for further research seem reasonable. Background: This review updates parts of two earlier Cochrane reviews investigating effects of gabapentin in chronic neuropathic pain (pain due to nerve damage). ). Antiepileptic drugs are used to manage pain, predominantly for chronic neuropathic pain, especially when the pain is lancinating or burn
