Need advice on Acroxia for fibromyalgia

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 took that for years and it helped me! However, it can make stomach issues worse, and it's not a good medication for long term use x

I've never heard of it.

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.

I've just started taking Lyrica and it's made a big difference compared to gabapentin, which I was on for many years.

ooh, I’ve read a lot about this on forums but it’s never been mentioned to me before in the UK

Has anything else worked for your pain?

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
