A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

Okay fellow fibro friends, my questions is what types of drug combinations do you take for your fibro? Pros/cons? just went off cymbalta and currently taken only neurontin at night, and occasional as needed ultram. Well I can feel my muscle as tight and no matter what I do they aren't relaxing. Have Xanax as needed for anxiety so after the pain kept getting worse I took one and it kinda helped. But isny something I want to do forever. So any suggestions I would be grateful

I have been taking Trazodone for my Fibro for 5 years now. It's not really a Fibro drug but it has been used to help the symptoms with success. I started with a small dose and I now take 150mgs every night. It actually took away the majority of my symptoms and it also helps with sleep. I no longer wake up feeling like someone beat me in my sleep.

If you can get into a bathtub, put 1cup Epsom salt and 1/2cup baking soda. I don't have access to meds right now so I've been soaking for 30 minutes everyday. It does not cure it but it eases it up to where I can get stuff done or sleep. The warmth of the water will hurt for a few seconds but it does give awesome relief for a few hours.

You never just stop a medication!! Very dangerous -- always wean off of medications:) No matter what dosage either.
