Let's see... I just got diagnosed but I have been on several meds to try to relieve my symptoms for the last 1 and 1/2 years. Oxycontin-40mg. 2x a day Vicodin 1-2 tablets as needed every 4 hours (which means I take it every 4 hours, since my pain is not under control yet) Clonazepam- I take this 3 times a day for anxiety issues and I take a higher dose at night to help me sleep...helps with anxiety and that is it! Neurontin- 1800 mg a day...I take this for pain and the burning feeling I have mostly in my right leg..Does it help? maybe 25%.. I used to wake up screaming from the pain and burning now I still wake up from it all but no screaming. I wake up take a pill now and pray the pain and burning will go away enough so I can sleep a little longer Phenergan 25 mg as needed for nausea... This seems to work well but makes me even more sleepy than I already am.. Nexium 40mg a day helps a little Imitrex 100 mg as needed this is new so I have yet to see if it helps. I take it for Migraines Nothing helps 100% or even 50%....Going to a new doctor who has Fibromyalgia herself and specializes in it... I am putting all of my faith into her right now |
My doctor reluntantly gave me lyrica he said he did not think I had fm I have done the research for 11 years. Finally my dc sent mr to a (ruemitoidologist?) And he did some test and it was fm. my doc says he does not perscribe nercotic meds. So I get no releif unless it gets bad enough to go to er about twice a month. talk about frequent shoppers. I wish it was easier. I have sufferd from bipolar depression since1991 and fm does not help. I am the type of person who will cut myself to help deal with pain. I have scares that will never heal. HELP................
