Members shared their varied experiences with Wellbutrin for fibromyalgia, noting that while it did not help with pain, several found it improved mood and brain fog, though many experienced significant sleep disturbances and recommended taking it only in the morning. The conversation expanded into a broader discussion of fibromyalgia medications, with members describing their personal combinations including Tramadol, gabapentin, amitriptyline, and stronger pain relievers, emphasizing that finding the right medication often requires trial and error since what works for one person may not work for another. A recurring theme was the importance of listening to your body and being willing to adjust or stop medications that cause uncomfortable side effects, with several members acknowledging stomach issues and varying tolerance levels as key factors in their treatment decisions.

I really wish I could take Welbutrin. Turns out, after writing this post, I tried it for long enough to figure out that it messes with my stomach so much that I cannot take it. I have also discovered I cannot take Tramadol either. What is Belbuca?

It does make it harder to sleep I agree..I was looking for something to help the always being tired, foggy part of fibro. I'm always exhausted. I take nothing for pain. My stomach can't handle much..but I would like to find something for pain that I could handle once and a while. Neurontin is a no go for me. I can tolerate tramadol every now and then but definitley not as an everyday thing.

i can give you a hint if it is a high mg the less pain med it is your 1 mg clonapin is for your nerves ,200 mg of tramadol is a pain med if it helps with your pain that is good ,for it is suppose to be kind of good but it did nothing for me !and gabapentin is used for different things but it takes 30 days to get into your system ! none of these worked on me so i took myself off of them! i take 60 mg of long lasting morphine and 15 mg of fast acting morphine , valium and flexaril plus 15 other meds ! love always michele sorry in pain right now !

Welbutrin you definitely need to take in the morning. Melatonin can be used for sleep up to 10 mcg.
I have been on Belbuca for the past couple of months for pain. It is a 12 hour oral patch. Fairly new. On 150 mcg. Until this flare up works well.
