Meds for Fibro
      #151118 - 03/28/04 02:19 AM

What meds are you prescribed for Fibromyalgia and who prescribes them to you? (PCP, PM, OP, etc.)

My PM prescribes Elavil which is supposedly for sleep but does absolutely nada except make me feel terrible in the mornings. I told her this, so she told me to try half a pill instead, which just makes me feel half as horrible. She also prescribes Zanaflex which really doesn't help, and if she's in a particularily good mood that month, maybe a few (a very few) Lortabs. She also wants me to have nerve blocks but my co-pay alone would be $250 each time, so that rules that out for now. Don't get me wrong though, I really do like her and I truly believe she's trying to work with me, but I think in her case, she's going to try every option there is before I get a reasonable amount of the meds that actually work for my pain.
Good luck in trying to get a diagnosis for your symptoms! Keep us posted and hope you feel better!
