I saw a pain management doctor who just rx d Lyrica for fibromyalgia. (Ive had this dx for 20 yrs now). I am already on 600mg gabapentin TID along with wellbutrin. This new dr seemed to think nothing of taking both together. And he rx d amitriptyln. Again, I am on trazadone and flexeril prn so not sure what the amitriptyln is supposed to help? And yes, I will not being going back to him and have an appt with another dr. The pain has just gotten so bad within the last year again I am desperate.
The pain of Fibromyalgia can be reduced by a comprehensive treatment plan which includes:1. Multiple medications, like anticonvulsant, SSRIs, antidepressants, etc. Your doctor can prescribe you medicine according to your need and health status. 2. Exercises which help reduce the muscle stiffness and spasms arising out of disease.3. Behavioral changes and cognitive improvement. If you are not satisfies with your doctor, you can always go for a second opinion. Consult a PMR physician nearby
