Has Anybody Switched From Cymbalta To Wellbutrin XL?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I’ve recently switched from 60mg Cymbalta to 150mg Wellbutrin XL. The first 2 weeks I had bounds of energy, probably too much as I also wasn’t sleeping much. Now all of a sudden I feel like I was hit by a bus. All of my pain that I’ve barely felt since starting Cymbalta came back and I’m exhausted. I’m not sure if I just hit a wall after running around the last 2 weeks with all of that energy, or if maybe the Wellbutrin isn’t working for me?

Just wondering if anybody has switched and… read more

What Do You Think Of Topamax?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was put on Neurontin 8 years ago. I built up a tolerance and 3 months ago I was put on Lyrica. I have gained 20 pounds. So today I'm starting to wean off it to try Topamax. Any suggestions on the pros and cons?

Neurotin, lyrical, and cymbalta did very little to help me and with all the side effects, made dealing with fibromyalgia even harder. I weaned myself off all three by myself when the Dr wanted to… read more

My doctor added wellbutrin to my effexor and said they work well together because I've been pretty down.
