Question.. Has anyone tried this medication. It was involved in a scientific study and it was determined to help our disease. I am interested in trying it ( if I can find a doc who will listen and BELIEVE) it works.

The video I watched on you tube said the results were good on the small study but it hasn't been approved for fibromyalgia yet. I am gonna get more info on it and talk to my doctor in the future.

If you don't find anyone on this forum who have used it, there are some good threads on the fibro forum on the DailyStrength.org site where people have reported their experiences. My PMD and I talked about trying this earlier this year, but it's been a crazy year so I haven't tried it yet.

My mum has been taking a low dose for approx 6 months. She still has her moments but has realised it hasn't been bad enough to go to the chiropractor which has been a regular part of her life. Worth a try if u can get a doctor who will try with u

Txcola- I Have tried similiar med called buprenorphine or subutex. Mine is at a higher dose. I love the medication! I have been on it for 4 years. I hope you will try it. The only thing is its not made for severe pain. Most of the time you cannot mix other drugs with it. It does come a problem when your hurt real bad or need something stronger. Most Dr's don't like to go back and forth. I love how you don't become so dependent on it. I can skip it for 2 days and not have no problem. I take 8 mg sublingal twice daily.
