Looking for Fibromyalgia Treatment Options

Thanks everyone, I'll ask my doctor about Savella. I used to take Lyrica, but that was several years ago.

I've taken quite a few meds, many did not help. But the one I'm on now. (Savella) is more helpful than any I have taken. My doctor told me the main meds to treat fibro is Cymbalta, which was terrible for me. And savella, savella has really helped alot especially the brain fog...

Cymbalta, gabapentin and plaquenil

How can you do anything. I did my grams makeup yesterday and been in bed all day in pain.

I have found that Lyrica works best for my pain. It doesn't get rid of it 100% but it does help more than any other medication i have tried.

Activity has been the best treatment for my fibromyalgia. Hot baths, gentle stretching. Massage is the best, but rarely get that due to lack of finances. What makes you smile? What makes you happy?~ 🤔

Biggest relief has been low dose naltrexone (LDN).

I alternate Aleve and Ibuprofen. I use arnica topically on the places that hurt the worse. I also use CBD during flare ups.

I take 300 mg Lyrica twice daily coupled with savilla 100 mg twice daily and cymbalta 60 mg twice daily. I also take a water pill to stop swelling from Lyrica, (triamterene hydrochlorothiazide). In addition I take magnesium calcium zinc and D3 two pills in the morning two pills at night. I am happy to say that my medication regimen keeps my fibromyalgia in remission.

I take tizanidine (muscle relaxer) & horizant (gabapentin xr) but still have lots of pain & tramadol only does so much.

Some of the biggest most recommended meds for fibro are : Cymbalta, savella, Lyrica, gabapentin, and some muscle relaxers.

Cymbalta is what I took. It was a wonder drug. I was on that for years until my body rejected it. Amitriptyline does not work for me.

Dulexotine(Cymbalta) has helped me and I dropped 25lbs. I still have pains late in the day. I have trouble sleeping and staying asleep. We tried amitriptline(sp) worked 3 or 4 days then I was back to not sleeping. My doctor(nurse practioner)said after a week try 2 pills and it kept me all night. I got reevaluated by my primary and felt he was super dismissive, stating I needed a sleep study cause he thought I had sleep apnea and sent me on my way. I felt rushed and totally ignored

I've found that my cymbalta has helped my fibromyalgia some

Depends on the doctor. My PCP prescribes Percocet for me. It’s a wonder drug. I don’t get “high” from it and it helps so much for the pain. The only problem is that it is addictive so you have to be careful with how much you use it

I don't take anything for mine. Because everything Dr's gave me didn't work. Or...made me gain crazy weight.
