As a fibro sufferer I am looking forward to seeing what effect the meds have on my symptoms. Does anyone have any experience with this?

WC it should have some effect.. my doctor informed me that fibromyalgia is also a lack of serotonin in the brain along with a decreased blood flow. That is one reason he put me on wellbutrin xl other than for my depression.

I take several meds.
Flexeril is actually a muscle relaxer though.
Here is my list.
Flexeril, Soma =both muscle relaxers
Tramadol = For pain relief although it really only helps my ciatic nerve and arthritis.
Neurontin = although this is used mainly for seizures it has been found to help FMS.
Paxil = for panic attacks.
Vicodin = pain pill (only taken when my ciatic flares up real bad and I'm bent over and having to use a walker even to get around in the house.
Although taking all of these medications seems like a lot. They do help to lessen the amount of pain most of the time. I have stopped taking some of these meds for a month or so to see if there was any difference. And it seems it takes the cocktail to make a difference. Even discontinuing even one of them and I'm right back in agony.

Spirit:
Can you function normally on that cocktail? I would think some of those medications would cancel out the effectiveness of the other because you talking about a series of so many different drug families. Have you tried message therapy? It is wonderful for me!

hi all, i'm on tramadol for pain and it helps a little bit.
just started lyrica and it doesn't help with pain so far and makes me dangerously groggy but no sleep still.
best help is my methylphenadate ( equasym) just wouldn't cope/mmove without it.
