    Savella

    I have tried taking Lyrica, Cymbalta and Neurontin. I did not have luck due to side effects with all of these. I started on the Savella starter pack and got to the 50 mg. twice a day which I did for 4 days and was basically non-functional so I had to back off. I am currently taking 25 mg...

    medication reactions

    Hi everyone. I just started taking Cymbalta. The doctor has me taking 30mg every other day. I have only taken two pills so far. I am having trouble staying awake. Two days of not being able to function normally. Plus it causes me to have stomach problems. Has anyone had similar problems?

    can the stress of fibro cause hair loss

    Hi. About a month ago I noticed a patch of hair missing from the nape of my neck. It was easy to spot as I have short hair. I went to my Primary care Dr and he thought it was stress.

    how many of you use pain meds?

    Hello, I just wondered how many of you are prescribed pain meds (opiods) as part of your "fibro cocktail." I tried all the so-called fibro meds except lyrica. I refuse to take something that puts that much weight on you so quickly. But I've been unable to take savella or Cymbalta. I did try...
