Sherrine, i do believe part of it is withdrawl from the higher dose (10mg) of the patch. But i switched that same day from 10mg down to 5mg so i think its just the adjustment from strong to less....
Today I went to my doctor to do some switching of medication. I was on Butrans 10mg patch for my fibro pain but had found out thru my pharmacist and an ER doc that I was basically "stoned" on my...
Hi RednBlack. I have taken Cymbalta for quite awhile for depression before I even found out I had fibro. It does take about 6-8weeks to fully kick in-I felt a noticable difference by 2 weeks....
So last night I went to a hospital 45 min from me (That's the closes one) because the medical info that came with my Butran 10mg patches said to go to emergency services if you are experiencing...
My doctor put me on the Butran's 10mg Patch for pain from Fibromyalgia along with Lyrica 600mg. We tried this because Tramadol did nothing for the pain I was feeling. I am not starting day 3 of the...
Yeah I'm not wanting to do physical therapy again. Not that I don't love it-b/c it usually helps, but it is so darn expensive even w/ 90/10 insurance. I will definately look into that book, I'm...
Recently I went to my gp and told him that I needed something stronger for my pain than Tramadol. I was taking 300mgs/day of Lyrica and between that and The Tramadol I was not feeling any better. So...
I'm fairly new to having Fibro-diagnosed in Oct. I happened to see one person write in a forum that they went to the ER on a day that they had a bad flare. Maybe it's just me, but I, myself, probably...
Hi everyone, I'm still new to the fibro world, was diagnosed in Oct. Pain for me is deep. My doctor did the Point test and I hardly had any. I tried to describe the pain to him and being an...
So I took the Flexiril last nite and finally slept well!! What a relief!. Still a bit stiff in the morning but ill take that over the pain in the nite!! Thank you!...
Thx everyone. I am an avid user of a heating blanket-i call it my lover since Im single lol. The pain is not spasms-its like I was in a car accident type pain. Ive tried taking Tramadol before bed...
Thank you Sherrine, I will definately talk to the doctor about that one. I have some left over Flexiril (spelled that wrong) that i could try in the mean time. I didnt think to try a muscle...
I was just diagnosed w/ fibro a week ago and was put on Lyrica and Cymbalta. So far Im noticing a good difference during the day with them but night it is totally opposite. It seems my pain increases...
Ty for the responses. It was my PCP that diagnosed me. Hes having me try Lyrica for pain--hoping it works bc nothing else has. I hate to ask for narcotics stronger than Tramadol bc I hate to feel...
Almost a week ago my doctor seemed pretty convinced that I have fibromyalgia. He did some bloodwork (the same bloodwork was run 4-6months prior and all came back fine for RA and other factors). I had...
