Has Anyone Taken Dosulepin A Prescription Med For Fibro Pain? If You Have, Did It Help The Fibro Pain?
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I was on Nortriptyline and when my Dr increased the dose I got really bad migraines. He has now put me on Dosulepin, I have been on it for a week and have had no improvement with pain. The only thing it has changed is made me have a really really low mood. Not sure whether to stop it or keep on it for another week. I'm a bit nervous to stay on it as the side effects and low mood has me very worried. My partner has noticed a change in my behaviour as well, everyday I am in tears about something… read more

Call your Dr. I've taken meds that alter my mood and ended up suicidal. I have them on my list of allergy meds now.

Personally I would stop taking it. I suffer from depression and when I have my low moods I'd rather deal with my physical symptoms. Low moods can turn even worse and that's scary. I choose physical pain over mental pain. Best of luck dear.

Thanks for the feed back everyone. 😊 It got so bad the evening of asking the question that I decided to stop it and go back to take the nortriptyline. Felt better within 24hours!
I prefer the pain than the low mood!
Seems to be I react to meds! Gabepentin made me suicidal! I'm a bit scared to try new meds now! They can be great but they can also be terrible when they go wrong! I spoke to someone at the pain clinic I go to and she said that she has only had 1 other person become sucidal with Gabepentin and yet multiple people are on it or try it for pain...aparently it only works for pain on about 20-30% of people!! I was quite shocked!!
Thanks again for your help and advice! Is definitely nice to get other people's opinions and ideas as we journey through figuring things out! 😊
