Weight gain and fatigue from gralise. Once you take it it's hard to get off. It's VERY expensive and I am still on two other opiates and a spine stimulator to relieve the pain so I am disappointed with the gralise but I don't know how to stop taking it. My doctor doesn't want me to stop she wants me to take more of it and I refuse!

I've been taking Gralise for years and I think it is wonderful for my arthritis.

Gralise ER comes in 300mg or 600mg tablets. I was prescribed this medication because I have fibromyalgia. Lyrica, Cymbalta and Gabapentin did nothing to help the pain. My doctor started me with 300 mg and took one each evening for a full month before beginning the 600mg dose. I have been taking this for about a year now and will probably have to increase the dosage soon. Like anything, your body ... Show Full Comment

Gralise ER comes in 300mg or 600mg tablets. I was prescribed this medication because I have fibromyalgia. Lyrica, Cymbalta and Gabapentin did nothing to help the pain. My doctor started me with 300 mg and took one each evening for a full month before beginning the 600mg dose. I have been taking this for about a year now and will probably have to increase the dosage soon. Like anything, your body becomes accustomed to pain medication, but this one seems to help me more than any other drug therapy. Gralise ER is an extended-release derivative of gabapentin. It has really helped my fibromyalgia nerve pain. Before Gralise ER, there were two to three days a week I could not even walk. Literally. This medication makes you a little groggy after a couple of hours and it is recommended to take after your last meal in the evening. I conquer. It has definitely helped me sleep better each night. People who suffer from fibromyalgia never sleep well and this has helped immensely. I manage a Law firm and had considered disability prior to beginning Gralise. It has allowed me to continue working for now.

I have been taking Gralise for two and a half months. I am happy with its effectiveness, as it has reduced my nerve related pain by at least 50 percent. Occasionally, I will notice a small dizziness sensation, but it is mild and does not last long, and is not significant. That is the only side effect that I have noticed from taking the drug. I have to remember to take it along with my evening ... Show Full Comment

Occasionally, I will notice a small dizziness sensation, but it is mild and does not last long, and is not significant. That is the only side effect that I have noticed from taking the drug. I have to remember to take it along with my evening meal, so I have set up a reminder on my smart phone to remind me every evening to take it around meal time.
