I was diagnosed with fibro many years ago. So, I've managed the pain with Duloxetine and pregabalin. But my pain has increased (old age?) so next week I'm starting on low dose naltrexone. It has no known side effects and apparently is very effective. I had to work to find a doctor who would prescribe it but I finally did. I'll let you know how it goes.

Naltrexone is great. You have to give is 6 months to see the full effect. I got the best results taking 1.5 mg in the morning and night.

I have given my doctor the NIH article - https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC10039621/ to assist in their Naltrexone learning and get my prescription written.

I hope your pain is reduced.
