TRAMADOL doesnt touch the pain for me which has progressed since diagnosis in 1994. Cant take lyrica, just got off if Cymbalta after 8 years. The thing is, this disease causes so many different ailments, you have to take a drug for this and a drug for that.

I know it's tempting to seek pain relief, but you're doing yourself a disservice by getting on opiates. You'll eventually have to stop using them because of their side effects, and then you'll have to suffer through withdrawal and probably end up with more pain than you started with.

There's nothing wrong with taking a painkiller on a bad day, but in between you should try to accept the everyday aches and learn to live with them. It's hard but it'll make you stronger.

Norco is a pain medicine- like vicodan. Hope that helps 💕

I take cymbalta which is an antidepressant but also is supposed to help with the pain. Been on it for 9yrs or so and can't tell the difference anymore. But I'm also on soma and norco which does help. CBD oil helps me sleep!! Amitryptaline only helped me sleep.

Why not try a med for Fibro, specifically? Starting on opiates can create a dependence. Savella, Cymbalta & Lyrica are made for Fibro symptoms.
