@A MyFibroTeam Member Court. I was on all those medicines too. They just want to keep upping the dose
In the mean time while DR. Is trying to find right dose. Medicine makes you feel very spacey and doesn't help the pain.. at least in my case. After a year I had to get off because I quit my job and lost my insurance and couldn't afford to go to Dr's anymore. I m glad I m off all those medicines cause I can feel and see the difference . That's just me. Everyone is different. Hugs and Prayers
im on 300mg 3 times a day, plus tramadaol 4 times a day, and morphine patches, doesnt seem to help the pain, i was taken off of duloxotine, as my depression was to severe, so i was changed to mirtazipine, i aslo take 2 g of immunosuppressants, and steriods, i rattle when i walk, lol exercise hasnt helped me, it just makes the pain worse, however i do find seated yoga does help
It doesnt make me like a zombie and I'm on 900 3x daily, I take it cos of my chronic lower back pain that I suffer with as well as fibro, if I didnt have my tramadol and if I was mobile I know I would be in so much pain and have problems walking. I spend all day resting my back which helps my fibro as well. I know if I didnt have all those meds my back would play up which results in my fibro playing up xx
Hi im on exactly the same dose as you. 100mg 3x a day. I also take duloxtine 120mg, zapain and naproxen which is a stronger NSAID. Pain is more manageable most of the time, however i still get major flare ups where no medication eases my pain. I was referred to the gym by rheumatologist and have an exercise program tailored for me and i do notice that exercise has helped.
900mg 3x daily I call it the zombie drug. It helps with my neuropathy in my back so all those insect crawing around stoo and settles my restless legs. But it does make you vey foggy and spaced out hence the zombie drug. It doesnt stop the feeling your body is in pain and that sensation is weird nor does it help with fibro fog, thats where for me codeine drugs help
