Medications

[Guest guest]

Hey all

Since we are talking about medications I figured I'd share what kind I was

on with a newly diagnosed Fibro and Costo.

Celexa, 20mg a day, I just went off of this, it made me a different person,

and I was very angry, not me (1st grade teacher, 25 male) But I felt the

difference in my body seratonin wise.

ULTRAM 50mg, 6 times a day. This pain medication is the only one my

insurance pays for and it doesnt cover any of my pain. The drs will not give me

something like vicoden or oxycodone, cause of my age, and the fact it doesn't

help fibro or costo, it just covers it. I applied for ULTRACET, but was denied,

so my Rheum doctor told me to talke my Ultram with Tylenol and it would be the

same thing.

Does anyone else reccomend a good pain killer that really works and I would

be approved for?

I also take SOMA 350mg, 1x at bedtime to help me get to sleep, Ambien doesn't

seem to work and I do not know what else to ask for. They wanted to put me

on Ambitriptyline (elavil) and I heard so much negative about it, I was scared

to take it.

They also want me on Wellbutrin, to reverse the sexual side affects, so at

one point I was on 3 anti depressants, now I am on none.

I cut out a lot of the medication other than the Ultram, for I get crippling

rib pain from front to full back and it just isn't good. I am going to see a

Chiropractor to get weekly adjustments for Fibro, and my back rib pain,

hopefully he doesnt flare the costo up too much. He is aware of Fibro and said

he can help.

Now I have been trying to switch over to more natural stuff.. my new plan is

this:

Ive started Magnesium, Calcium, Malic Acid, Ginseng, Sam-E and I was

thinking 5-thp (sp) not sure yet. But I am going the more natural route.

If you have any recc. or help, I'd love it, I really want to find a better

pain killer that might help me. Hopefully the back adjustments help too.

Lately I've had major fibro fog, and getting a lot of restless legs in the

daytime, just at my desk, jerking and twitching. Sometimes its even full body.

Scary. My muscles have been so sore and loose, it feels like my left up is just

degenerating away, I wonder if there is something more wrong. I want to do

physical exercise, but I am not sure what to do.. for alot flares my rib

syndrome, which then kills the fibro.
