Fibromyalgia Medications
Can anyone tell me some medications that have helped them control the symptoms of Fibromyalgia? I heard that Lyrica works the best w/ less side effects. Does any of the meds come in a liquid or injectable form?
Need suggesstions Please!

You might consider Teri15’s suggestion and ask your pharacist (dr) about Cymbalta… sometimes you just need all the help you can get! 🙂 It’s not as if you have to ‘stay on’ any other meds forever… Your state of mind has a direct bearing on how you feel physically… this is why I suggested the healing tapes to help relax and soothe you. I hope your day is a good one, Trouse.
you should be able to crush these pills.
Thank you all for your feedback and support. I left a message w/ my rheumatologist to see if I can get in sooner than May! I will keep you updated!!!

Called the pharamist yesterday. My rheumatologist apparantly put me on a med called Neurontin/ Gabapentin for my fibromyalgia 3 x a day. Has anyone heard of thismed before? Pharmacist said it was similar to Lyrica. I am still going to call the doctors office to make sure. Never been on a med for fibromalgia before. Scared it will effect my other meds since I still have the c-diff intestional infection. I am so scared it will affect the infection that is in my intestional track?
Has anyone heardof this med before? Never been on meds for fibromyalgia?
Feedback would be appreciated!
Thanks,
trouse
Hi trouse my haemotologist adviced me to try gabapentin for pain, but however read up and decided against it. But I did have along talk with my GP in regards to this before I made this decision. Also my staffy dog uses gabapentin to assist him with his itchy skin complaint. I again would speak to my specialist in regards to this as he will be able to answer any questions that concern you. Take care
Why did you decide not to take it, or change your med?
Hi trouse I have to take warfarin for the rest of my life due to ongoing clotting problems and it tends to interact with almost everything so decided not to go down that pathway. I try to control my pain with panadolosteo or codeine when it gets really severe. Take care
I want to thank everyone for their suggestions on the meds. My rheumatologist did call back and started me on Neurotin, I guess that is how you spell it. It is in capsule form that I can break. I take it in the evening 1 x per day in evening, I can increase up to 3 x a day if needed. I am doing Ok w/ it. My body is trying to get used to it. Feeling fatigue, dizzy, and causes weight gain, which I have noticed. I am noticing that I am very moody as well.
How long does it take for a new med to get into your system and get used to it!!
Thank again for your concerns and comments!
I will keep you updated!
