New meds for fibro?

I just responded to this in another thread lol, but here it goes again.

The only other one I know that has been approved for fibro is Cymbalta.

I did hear something about a new one recently under research to be approved, but I don't remember the name of it. Darn fibro fog!

Thanks for the name of it Missy, my darn brain couldn't remember! lol

There seems to be emerging evidence that the anti-seizure medications may play a role in managing fibo. I recall being on Valporic Acid, Depakote, for the many years I was very functional, after dx., when the only other meds I was taking were amyltriptilene and Tylenol 1. (8mgs. codeine). It wasn't until after being a pedestrian in a MVA in 2002 that I became so disabled. Around that time I also weaned off the Depakote as I was taking stronger pain meds and didn't want to compromise my liver.

Here is my formula for relieving fibro pain.  Sit in a candle lit room with a six pack of Molsons, a bag of chocolate chips, a couple of pizza's and a massage therapist that looks like George Clooney.  You may still be in pain but you won't care.  You must plan this routine three days in advance, however, and make sure you don't take any of your meds as they do not mix well with Molsons or George Clooney.  Oh, and no pagers, cell phones or Blackberry's allowed.  No interruptions during your fabulous massage.
