I don’t know I have never tried them. I don’t understand why they didn’t find any kind of pain medication that would help me.

I take a low dose of Ezetimibe once daily and Repatha injection once every 2 weeks.The other Statins made my fibro worse. My Total cholesterol was over 250 I take CoQ10 supplement 200mg daily.

They increased my fibro pain 1000 fold. I stopped taking them. Made my doctor mad but then I just changed my diet to get my cholesterol under control. He stopped pestering me.
I read a research article about how statins mess with CoQ10 and this can have an impact on fibro. I felt justified in stopping it after that. That's my experience.

No just no response to pain medication. It didn’t even work at all.
