A member asked:
Flexeril (cyclobenzaprine hcl) for fibromyalgia use is being discontinued by rx provider. suggesting gabapentin instead. i'm reading that gabapentin is not as effective anw?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Gabapentin is useful: Many patients with fibromyalgia have been found to have small fiber neuropathy, which is pain or numbness involving the nerves. There is thought there may be some association, although it is theoretical. Gabapentin, a medication very effective for nerve pain, can be useful in patients with fibromyalgia.
