I Am Starting To Need Xanax Daily... Needing Another Option.
A MyFibroTeam Member asked a question 💭

I am having a horrible flare. I have been using .25 mg of xanax morning and sometimes night just to feel normal. It actually helps with my pain and muscle jerking. Just wondering if there is a better option? I take @Pamelor for nerve pain so I can't take SSRIs with it I think. I have tried Cymbalta- NEVER AGAIN. That made me feel like I was literally on fire. And I had a flare that lasted for 6 months afterward. I did try Venlafaxine and that gave me horrible itching anxiety- paranoia… read more

I have great luck with Ropinirole and I have terrible RLS. I also take Robaxin which helps with cramping and muscle pain. I take Savella which is just for fibro and it helps a lot with the pain. I can't take opiotes so I have recently started CBD oil from Hemp which helps me so much. If you need info on where to get it let me know.

My doctor raised my Xanax to 2 mg. I take it at bedtime but it still does not help me sleep. Ask about gapapentin short term. I go on it and then off. My legs get to feeling like your little brother got a hold of your Barbie and twisted her legs around and they burn like hell fire. Don't worry so much about addiction, you need to be able to function.

Your DR may have to up your dosage. I take 1mg of Clonzapam twice daily. That helps alot.

I get my oil from a company called Honey B Healthy Living. Josh Belat, a family member, is with this company. I call him direct to get my oil. His number is (Phone number can only be seen by the question and answer creators). I buy the Hemp CBD oil, just put it under your tongue for 60 seconds and in about it 15 minutes your will feel the difference. It even helps my migraines. I am completely off of any narcotics. You can go on line to Honey Bs wes.

Instead of Xanax get your doctor to switch you to valium it's anti-aniexty and it will relax all your muscles. I have the same problems my body is so bad it's like a fish out of water, especially while I'm asleep. We thought I was seizing, got me checked, I was just having bad flares. Hugs to ya hope this helps😍❤
