What does everyone take for medications?

The main meds, gabapentin, lyrica & cymbalta caused bad side effects. The doctors here refuse to prescribe any 'controlled substance'. So I am not on any meds for fibro. I use medical marijuana. Which I find most helpful. It works for the pain. And NO side effects.

I take lyrica but am weaning myself off it as I started taking tumeric and my pain has literally gone away. I make a paste fron tumeric amd take it twice daily. The only problem I have the past few weeks is fatigue. Look into tumeric (golden paste)

turmeric an anti inflammatory and other good stuff, vitamin D 50,000u weekly, a multiiviamin , baclofen 20 mg for spasms but it doesn't work, an anti seizure med called toperimate 150mg for nueropathy and headaches, because lyrica and neurontin had too many side effects, cymbalta 120mg. for pain and depression, methotrexate for arthritis caused by sjogrens off narcs which ended up making me hyperalgesic now have big trouble with sleep and pain but I also have neck shoulder and spine issues and osteoporosis. was on meloxicam at 15 mg, an NSAID but it did not help my pain significantly and I did not want anymore in my body that did not help. Amyltriptiline is supposed to help with sleep at 20 mg but I found it just gave me dry mouth, Tramadol is an antidepressant that is also supposed to help with sleep and thus help with pain, but I found even at 600mg it did neither for me Savella actually is similar to Cymbalta it is a combined nor eppinephrine re-uptake inhibitor and serotonin re-uptake inhibitor but it has emphasis on the norepinephrine re-uptake, so it should have a mood improving and pain reduction effect. Hope these help. I am a patient and a nurse Like Momma on Code Black said last week always a nurse.
