Guest guest Posted March 10, 2008 Report Share Posted March 10, 2008 Do you even need an SSRI for your Fibro? Do you have depression, panic/anxiety, obsession/compulsion, and procrastination, and if so, did they come with the Fibro? Then an SSRI med, taken at night, may be worth trying again. Maybe you were getting too much, or the wrong brand. I have used Paxil at night for over 7 years. Works perfectly for me. But have not been able to find a generic that works at all. We don't know why. I am finding that topical meds are much easier on me than capsules, also because of throat issues. It takes such a large amount of Guaifenesin capsules for me every day, but much less quantity as a topical. Also my body does not have to digest and excrete the meds. Much better and much less expensive. Saves so much time from not having to pack the capsules, too. Even the cost of the empty capsules and shipping. Glad to help with info on this.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 HELLO! Iam So sensitive to ALL kinds of medications. It seems the worst for me is any kind of antidepressant. I have tried so many, to give a try at least, and they all do the same to me. Make me feel like ****!!!! They make me feel like my head is spinning and I make terrible decisions. I am moody and sick too! Anyway, I think I get all the symptoms possible, but all the doctors tell me is, " Give it 2 weeks, and your body will get adjusted to it " Yes! This is there way of saying, they do not understand how to take care of me. I guess I stand out because I have fibro. I hate being a Fibro patient, the doctors basically use meds to TEST you on, because they just do not know..... I explain to them, how much this takes over my life, how I just cannot function because how bad I feel everyday single day of my life..... They look at me weird like Iam lying to them, just because iam young.. they think Iam lying.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Thank you Anne, for all the good info on the SSRI/Fibro TIPS. Greatly appreciated! I will try the Paxil again, and this time, with not the Generic Brand.

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 You're very welcome. Test your Saliva pH. It's the most important guide for FMS. We're trying really hard to get this free info out to people but there's a lot of money being made off of Fibro now and some people will do or say anything to keep it that way. Any intelligent person can read all of the FibroFix site and know that we are just telling it like it is. In HIS grip, Annie www.FibroFix.com Am i the only one who? > > > Is SUPER sensitive to meds?

Guest guest Posted March 12, 2008 Report Share Posted March 12, 2008 Hi a,I know you are feeling-it's impossible try to explain how you are feeling or you condition to someone-even a doctor.Everyday is another day with fibromyalgia.Nobody can really understand what you are going through,you pains,discomfort,sadness,confusion etc.I am was diagnosed about nine years ago but I think I had this condition since I was thirteen.I am now 37.I Tried many many doctors,treated for all sorts of conditions without any relief or improvement.I am now trying to see a Rhematlogist who treats similar conditions and probably might be able to offer some help.I feel better by doing cleanses,hot baths, self-massage(if you can't afford a massage therapist often),stretching,, taking vitamins and basically watching the types of food I eat.I hope for all of us who have have to face this hell everyday,someone will come along and rescue us with a cure or treatment. . --- shawnascott@... wrote: > HELLO! > Iam So sensitive to ALL kinds of medications.

Guest guest Posted March 13, 2008 Report Share Posted March 13, 2008 The majority of Fibros have low Saliva pH. (very acidy). The body needs to be about 7.4 for the liver to be able to produce critical chemicals - enzymes, etc - that tell the rest of the body what to do. The test will tell you where you stand; you can also use it to monitor it over time. Very easy and cheap to do. Anne Am i the only one who? > > > Is SUPER sensitive to meds?

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 You can do it yourself very quick and cheap. Most don't keep pH test paper on hand. Very inexpensive at a local health food store. About $13 and will do up to 300 tests. Call around, though, don't drive around. Not all of them carry it. Some think it's only for urine pH (we don't test that) but the paper is the same. Call me any time if you have questions, too. . I can hang up call right back so it doesn't cost you. Hard to email if you are at the store and not the computer and have a question.

Guest guest Posted March 14, 2008 Report Share Posted March 14, 2008 Anddrew, Thank you for your understanding. I really appreciate it! Your a male, right? If so, Glad to hear we have a man on here too, that can relate. NOT that Iam happy you are feeling Pain, but just happy you made your way here. LOL. Anyway, thanks so much for understanding and posting to me. I agree with you, nobody else will understand. I cannot find a doctor that I like, because they all look at me like I am a hypercondreact. (sp) Shoot, I cant even spell the word, let alone live the word! Thank you again, I truly understand what you are feeling and am here as a listening ear, whenever you need!
