Where do you turn when you've tried many Fibromyalgia medications?

I'm 76 years old and I have experience the same side effects that you are all talking about. I just can't take some of the pills. I had a wonderful doctor allow me to take xanax, and I would take half of a .25 when I really needed it, and it would head off some of the worst pain. At my age, nobody will give me the medication I need for pain and it's very frustrating.

I’m afraid I went ballistic on him and among other things asked (so the drug addicts van have it, but I can’t? It was him and not the Insurance he works for. He retired and I went to another doctor who asked who authorized Norco. Turns out the old doctor was the go-to doctor to ok meds. You have to fight for yourself and what is right for you. I’m past your age. I really do Understand the opioid concern, but don’t put me in that box.
