Meds, which to take and which to stay away from

[Guest guest]

hi, it's me judy from wisconsin.

still getting use to how to post and see my responses. I've been

trying to read the posts about meds, espescially lyrica. I'm seeing

some of you have had success and others not. When I had my appt. with

my rhymatolagist he wants me to try lyrica. I said I want to hold off

until after the holidays. And he wants me to be re-evaluated by my fp

for treating depression. I'm currently taking the generic paxil.

This drug also causes weight gain and would like to take something

that don't. But with all the meds I've tried over the years before

recently being diagnosed with fibro, I'm so skeptical of trying

anything. What are some of you taking? and what success have you

had? I looked up side of effects of cymbalta and found some real

horror stories of withdrawal. Have any of you had success with home

treatments or exercises that help pain and fatique? or coping

techniques?
