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

I’ve tried all the meds and they were either ineffective or I had severe side effects. Vicodin has helped me but I try to only take it during extreme flare ups. My Dr finally agreed after I tried everything else.

It’s very depressing and difficult when flare ups start. I tried Gabapentin but it makes me suicidal. There was one drug that worked, it may have been Duloxetine but I had an anaphylactic reaction.

I understand. I tried all the meds they gave me and couldn’t tolerate them (and have a life). One doctor told me HE didn’t want me to have the Norco. 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.

I use THC legally in Iowa
