It seems to be the go-to thing with many ailments, including Fibro- actually especially fibromyalgia! Doctors seem to not quite know what to do in order to offer relief from pain, and they don't seem to mind trying a whole cocktail of drugs. While some of these options do offer some pain relief, they also offer their share of other effects that are less than desirable. Grogginess, mood changes, libido changes, (meaning your best friend doesn't work anymore), diplopia, dependency, irritability, depression, suicidal thoughts, bowel issues, headaches, dizziness....need I go on? In my experience, it's just not worth the trade-off. Maybe it would be if the pain was gone- but it's never gone. It's just dulled slightly, and I can't even say if that's courtesy of the drug, or if I've just been sidetracked by all the other onset of side effects. I'll share a few things however that do actually help, and allow me to keep my brain and sex life intact.
