FrustratedTN

I have a son with epilepsy. The name of this thread caught my attention.

Myoclonus, is a form of seizures. But its not recognized as much with
the use of medications.

But the thing is that with fibro,

There is one drug that is a epilepsy medication also. And I can't remember
of the top of my head but I believe the top used drug is also.

They are Neurotin (Gabapentin) or Lyrica, sorry I don't know the generic.

I had seizures as a child. And there was a chance a few years ago, I was
having some again. My doctor chose to try Gabapentin, and it is working
very well for my fibro as long as I'm on the right dosage.

It also helps with the issues I had that could have been seizures. I am
not telling you to go on either drug, I'm just giving you the information
on which drugs could possibly help.

The other thing is it sounds like a good muscle relaxer medication might
help you. See if they will prescribe this, If not the neurologist.

Next you look for a Pain management doctor. This is who is best in
my opinion for fibromyalgia. Some use a Ruemotologist, but I find
the Pain Management Doctor great.
