Hello,
I have tried Lyrica,Cymbalta and Savella for F.M. all three were a nightmare for me,, omg,, i almost killed myself driving, fell asleep everywhere,hallucination,, I believe that these three medications have NOT BEEN AROUND LONG ENOUGH, for those of you that can take these meds and are helping you, god bless you,, i am still suffering,, i was just diagnosed in September, took 15 years to do so, now all i am trying is Gabepentin, because i want to get offffff of the pain meds,, hydromorphone 4mg q4-6hrs,fentanyl patch 100mcg q48 hours, Soma 350mgs q8hrs, and xanax 2mg bid and one prn., I am in therapy for depression, but yet to start antidepressant, because my doctor wants to see how i do on the nuerontin (Gabapentin) i cant live this way.... my lower back is branded by heat packs i have to wear everyday because of the trigger areas (oh and i get injections every 4-6 weeks) at night i sleep with ice packs,I have been suffering for so long, there is a pamphlet out by the american red cross that states "very rarely does F.M. WORSEN" two years ago i could ride a bike, now i cant sit on one. Last year i got a scooter, today i cant use it, six months ago i could drive a standard car, now it is painful. I believe that article that F.M. does not worsen is very wrong. I am begging for anyones advice as to what they use for medication to treat their fibro, I am ready for antidepressant (zoloft) as soon as the doc gives it to me. but right now, I NEED HELP PLEASE WITH WHAT TO TRY FOR THE FIBRO, CAN ANYONE TOSS IDEAS AT ME? thank you so much,, I am new here, this is my first time posting, and looking forward to helping others as well, I hope you all have a low pain day
