Hello, everyone...I have a question about my pain meds. I have been taking Cymbalta and Tramadol for pain (I'm allergic to Neurontin). The Tramadol seemed to really help at first, but after a year plus of taking it, it doesn't seem to be as effective anymore. My GP seems apprehensive to...
For my fibro related pain, I currently have been taking Tramadol 100mg 4xs daily and Tizanadine 1-4mg, they are scored, as needed. I also take Cymbalta 60 mg once daily. Anyway, to get to the point, the medication no longer seems to manage my pain. I've been taking the medication for over a year...

What I don't understand and makes me very angry is when you have a doctors visit they want you to manage the pain & to be active but they are either against pain meds or wont prescribe them. How can you have a chronic pain condition and your doctor wont give you meds to help with the pain. There...
Hello. I have been on tramadol for 4 years and it has helped some for my fibromyalgia pain but I feel if I got more pain relief I would be able to function more and be more productive in life. Is there any pain meds that have worked better than tramadol that's not a opiate?

I've tried hydrocodone and oxycodone, and now tramadol: I didn't like the Percocet or Vicodin, and the tramadol makes me feel dependent. What are some other pain killers that are used in treating fibro? Have you had luck with any of these?

I've been taking tramadol for almost a year now. It has turned into a daily thing, and I need it to feel "normal." It combats my fatigue, gives me energy, and lessens my anxiety. However, I can't help but feel like an "addict," or "dependent," and put myself down about it. Is it normal to...
We have been unable to find a physician who takes the condition seriously. By that I mean no one cares to do anything but write for medication to the address symptoms.
My wife has tried lyrica, Savella, neurontin, you name it. All have made her feel worse.
She has used tramadol, Tylenol 3...
