Does anyone take Acroxia / Etorivoxib for fibromyalgia? I saw a rheumatologist yesterday who prescribed this but I’m scared to take it because I find the possible effects worrying!
I’m currently on a cocktail of things that do help a bit, but recently my pains have been worse again especially in the cold. Annoyingly I have tried gabapentin and Amitriptyline in the past which have not been good for me
the generic name is pregabalin. In the US it falls in the class 3-5 of controlled substances, so a picture ID is required to pick it up and it's limited to how early you can get it filled. But it's made a huge difference for me and not just my fibro but also my arthritis pain
I previously tried pregablin it suited me however caused me weight gain and this made me depressed so I changed back to gabapentin.
Thing is with medications everyone reacts differently it may suit you and you'll be fine. If not stop taking it and go back to your doctor.
