Meds?

I'm on 60 of cymbalta, 5 of flexeril Feels like I have built up a tolerance? The fibrosis pain often feels electric and I wonder about a nerve med? I also take Magnesium, fish oil and. D. Anyone on higher Cymbalta?

Thanks! I've been on 10 of flex at night and it helps with the sleeping. Anyone take Neurontin for fibro?

I tried neurontin and it didn't do much for me. I really got no bad side effects from it. You will find out that your body does build up tolerance to drugs.

Artsinthepark- Do you have raynauds? You mention cold sensitivity and I just thought of that. Maybe we can create a drug that would help all the symptoms. Lol . We would be rich!!

I'm on Neurotin and love it. It's working better than anything else I've tried. I was on Cymbalta for several months without success. All it did was clear my head somewhat and made noises easier to deal with.

I take 300mg 3 times a day because ins. won't cover the extended release. It took a couple weeks before I started to notice that the pains were disappearing. No more pain that would creep across my face, no more ear aches (my ears hurt all the time like I had ear infections), no more traveling achy/throbbing pains, no more electrical/stabbing pains, no more constant headaches. Absolutely wonderful! You don't realize how bad it is until you find some relief.

Don't get me wrong, I'm not completely pain free but oh so much better!

I hope you find your relief!

I take 600mg of neutrin and flexril, but have found that they help some - but not enough. I do have some issues w/ my spine and cord (fusion at the C5-C7 area w/ 2 discs removed due to rupture- 6 screws to hold it all together and 2 of those screws are no impinging on the cord). <-----bc of all of this, Im not sure if my increase in pain and fibro symptoms are due to the pressure on my spinal cord or the fibro. I am 100% against any more spinal surgeries (unless life threatening), so Im trying to manage the pain w/ meds, weight loss, and light activity each day.
