@A MyFibroTeam Member I'm currently being weaned of lyrica as it has increased my appetite and I'm gaining weight rapidly...I also find that when taking my morning dose it makes me so fatigued (didn't know I could possibly feel more fatigued than I already am lol ) Ive just started amitriptaline ..I find gabapentine OK but again my weight soared and my appetite was uncontrollable..I'm also on codeine..paracetamol and ibuprofen and have just been given the new capsaicin cream to try

Yes, sometimes it is awful and I scratch myself raw. No rash or visible sign until I scratch, worst is the bottom of my feet and at night. Have to have them outside of the duvet as that can make it worse.
Cold packs and cold water helps me, heat is a big no. Hope that helps.

My Dr. prescribed me Hydroxyzine HCL 10mg. it's an antihistamine. It helps better than Benadryl to stop from itching. Hope this helps.
