Interesting, I guess I heard about a new medication that was recently approved but I didn’t pay a lot of attention to it. I’m one of those that the FDA recommended meds didn’t really work for. I tried Cymbalta for about 10 months and my anxiety was not good. I went back to my Venlafaxine which seems to help the most. In addition to that I take a Methocarbamol (muscle relaxer) every night before bed. I will say that does help with some of the muscle pain and the ability to sleep at night. Maybe this new med will help with all of it?

Yes, my pain doctor said I should try it.

It's timed-released Flexeril.

I found out even with insurance, it would be cost me $60, so I am sticking with Flexeril, very cheap.

I am taking it. I just started taking I had a long stretch of of not being able to fall asleep at until 4 am.

I had the first night of restorative sleep in years. The second night it wasn’t as affective. Since I was on flexeril for 30 years until my dr stopped the prescription. My pain Dr recommended Tonmaya. He is out of town but I will let him guide my dosage.

It seems very strong and I would not recommend driving until you adjust to it.

It is expensive I think I pay 60.of pocket it is worth if it works.

I have RA, and OA with two major back surgeries.

@A MyFibroTeam Member wow thats mad! I am in the uk and I am lucky not to pay for medication I don't think it will be right for me as I have 2 slipped discs and arthritis so I need pain meds that work for fibro and my other issues!1

My neurologist prescribed it but my insurance company denied it up front and denied 2 appeals. It costs $1,900 a month so I guess not paying for it is more important than helping me with my quality of life.
