Gabapentin And Being Emotional

A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭
Oshkosh, WI

I am now on 900mg/day of gabapentin and I have noticed I get emotional and cry so much easier than normal. Is this a side effect? Thank you in advance!

I sometimes get emotional and cry and I'm not even on any pills, but I think it is from changes in my hormones I think I'm must be going through the change of life though I don't have hot flashes which I'm happy about.

Ya the cymbalta made my pain 100x worse.

I used to be the same way until my Dr put me on Cymbalta. Ithe improved my mood 90%. I think you said previously that Cymbalta did not work for you. I now take 400 mg of gabapentin 3x day and 30 mg of Cymbalta 2x day

I'm starting to wonder myself. I was working full time 40+ hours a week and now they forced me to go to part time. Being on FMLA right now sucks as well. I'm so used to working all the time that I don't know what to do with myself now.
