do you have fibromyalgia? if so, what medications have you found that have worked?

i have had fibromyalgia for a few years now. i have recently stopped all my meds because i was on 8 every morning and felt that my life was controlled by them. is there a drug that you've found that has helped all (or most) of your symptoms of fibromyalgia? i've been on all kinds of antidepressants, anti-inflammatories, anti-anxiety meds. i'd like to get to where i only have to take one or two pills a day. i'm looking for suggestions to take to my doctor as she doesn't seem to know where to go next with my illness. any help would be greatly appreciated. thanks.

1. there's no inflammation with FMS so who ever told you to take anti inflammatories is clueless

you don't mention the antiseizure meds like lyrica


be aware that FMS is highly over diagnosed by these clueless docs, at the same time people who really have it aren't being diagnosed...

so when people say that have an amazing treatment--chances are they did not have FMS to begin with---common misdiagnosis includes dehydration, vitamin D and other deficiencies, thyroid or hormonal issues, MS, LYMES (be sure to look up Lyme literate MD)...some people are just hypochondriacs or have psychosomatic illness.

so any 'treatment' someone suggests you have to take with a grain of salt.
