For pain I take norco 10/325. I've had fibro for most of my life and have always dealt with aches and pains. Mostly in the past if it got too bad I'd use an otc. But over 7 years ago the pain increased to the point I was in tears and so at that point it was time for something stronger. I started on Vicodin 500 mg., but I don't like what that does to the stomache.
Last Jan. I was put on Effexor xr which is a dual purpose anti-depressant. It gives us both serotonin and norepinephrine. By then I was bedbound. But since I've been on Effexor I'm up and about and slowly but surely getting a little better.
I also take relafin for the athritis like pain and such that I have in my hands and prevacid to combat any liklihood of the relafin hurting my digestive tract.
