 5  Nerve pain neck and back Walking zombie in the mornings- Sometimes emotional crying It helps but my one major concern is the addiction part. I was so happy to be taking Gralise and it helping ALOT until I found out you can become addicted and also you will have withdrawals if you try to get off them. I attempted to quit taking them one night and I was up all night with pretty bad pain so I finally took ONE at 5 a.m. in the morning. I couldn't stand it anymore. So I'm a little pissed off I probably won't be able to stop taking until I have a week to plan the suffering. I'm a little pissed that these doctors don't tell patients they will go through withdrawals if they attempt to quit. If you haven't taken Gralise yet I recommend you don't take that 1st pill but I also understand it gets so exhausting having pain 24/7-- I just don't know what to do. My brain is telling me to stop taking but I keep taking. F 49 6 months

 3  Neuropathy and nerve pain I took Gabapentin and got a bit more pain relief from it for some reason, but couldn’t stand always feeling so spacey, starving and unsafe to drive. Gralise doesn’t give me quite the same amount of pain relief, but it also doesn’t have the unwanted side effects. F 54 4 months
1800 mgs.
