I Take Opiates For Pain? Is Anyone Else On Long Term Opiate Therapy? If Not, What Meds Work Best For You?
I dont necessarily want to use opiates long term but the fibro meds cymbalta, Lyrica, gabapentin all made me totally BLAH and at least the opiates help me stay alert and awake to function. Looking for others views on what is working for them without making them BLAH.
Gabapentin helps me out along with oxyodone and 800 mg of ibuprofen, muscle relaxer and multi vitamin and extra vitamin D. And a gluten free diet works. But i do still get my flare ups
I do not take or have ever taken any Narco for my fibro, i am on Low Dose Naltrexone and Cymbalta, it is the only thing that works for me, i can function most days, Google LDN for Fibromyalgia, there will be a Stanford university study, and many other good articles.
I have tried Norco/Vicodin and found it quite helpful...very helpful....actually the only thing that has seemed to give me any relief.
Low Dose Naltrexone, i cannot express how much it has changed my life, i thank my Dr. everytime i see him. You cannot use any narcotic while taking LDN, Google LDN for Fibromyalgia, you will find a Stanford study and other great info. If/ when Cannabis ever gets legalized in Wi. i will be using that too.
Have you tried acupuncture? It did miracles for me. Would go in hardly able to move and a little over an hour later was better and one session would last about a week. So after a session I could go a week without pain meds, but each person is different.
What Other Meds Are Out There For Fibromyalgia That Aren't Opiates?!
I'm On So Many High Doses Of Opiates Everyday, Yet Still In So Much Pain......
Low Dose Naltrexone
