Looking for Fibromyalgia Pain Relief: Any Medication Suggestions?

Hi all . Just reading the comments. Their is lots if meds being told about using for pain . I'm on palixa slow release morphine. Gabapentin might be spelt wrong .

I’ve tried Cymbalta, Gabapentin, Lyrica and LDN and none of those worked for me. Robaxin (muscle relaxer) helps some but can’t take daily or side effects get bad. Seroquel before bed helps for sleep more than anything else I’ve tried and it also helps with anxiety a bit as well.

My doctor retired and I’m seeing a Pain Doctor now: he continues with my Vicodin. I had to start Lyrica again with Cymbalta because of increasing flares! I also have Ra and psoriatic arthritis , cervical degenerative disk disease and Irritable Bowel. Any one have as many problems? I now have long COVID after having Delta?

I stopped taking my Lyrica and started having more Fibromyalgia attacks! I take Cymbalta, Hydrocodone and Lyrica.

I take pregabalin (Lyrica), duloxetine (Cymbalta) and hydrocodone. I also smoke a healthy amount of weed. It really seems to be a good combination and I don’t have side effects.

i take meloxicam, though i also have arthritis

Naltrexone is helping me and I sometimes use Gabapentin and Zanaflex for flares.

Lyrica has been a blessing. Nothing helped until I took that, it didn't take the pain away but reduced it enough that it allows me to have relief

Savella 25mg twice a day - made a huge difference!

Literally when my eyes open in the morning I am in pain. It makes it very difficult just to get out of my bed. As of late, my legs won’t support me so I’m riding around the house on my walker. My dog keeps sniffing me and my cat won’t leave my side. My current meds only take the edge off so I’m not rolling in the floor, but the pain is always underlying. I’m only 52. I always saw myself as being much more vibrant at this age, but here I sit. I see a new pain management Dr next week after 7 years. I truly hope he has some new methods, or ideas I don’t know about that will help me become more mobile again.

They have tried me on Lyrica cymbalta which I am allergic to. Other medicines like gabapentin and I can't remember a few other things. But they were no help to me.

Naltrexone 9mg!

As I’m new here, suggestions are greatly appreciated.

The only 2 in this list of comments I’ve not tried is amitriptyline and Lyrica. The good thing is I don’t seem to have an addiction to anything. I’ve always been able to stop smoking on a dime, stop drinking just because I decided to and out of fear of being addicted to Vicodin, I quit taking it for 2 weeks with no affects. However, nothing has ever helped to make my pain manageable enough to clean my whole house without so much pain the next day, I couldn’t hardly move.

I have tried and am on so many different medications and I can’t get relief. It takes the edge off to make it manageable, but when 2 dilauted for break through pain doesn’t help, I have no choice but to go to the hospital an injection of I’ve dilauted will stop my pain, but I have one crutch. I can’t take any pain killer at all without Zofran. I’ll vomit it every time.

Naltrexone 9mg helps sooo much!!!

I use to a long time ago. It wasn’t helping me. So I don’t take any medications now.

Gabapentin, cymbalta and amitriptyline

I take gabapentin and amitriptyline

I just want something I can take every day that isn't for night time. Like I have meds for sleep pain and migraines. It works amazing but it doesn't help for the day. My muscle relaxer helps but not when I get a flare up.

i take amitryptiline and it shortens my flare ups significantly!

I tried Lyrica, but had to stop after gaining 17 pounds in 2 months. I just stopped Cymbalta recently because it was affecting my bipolar too much and making me manic, since it's an antidepressant.

I take both gabapentin and metaxalone (muscle relaxer). The combination is so helpful and I don't notice any side effects besides maybe being a little tired.

Cymbalta did not help me and gave me awful side effects. I found that combining lyrica and low dose naltrexone help me.

I tried to take Lyrica, but found after the first dose that I was allergic to the medication 😥
