> Does it really help with fibromyalgia? My mother has had that for years, and after my experience on Effexor, I was gonna almost tell her to get off it and go with something else, however if that is the case, mums the word!
Yes, in my case it has - and with a continued dosage of only 37.5 mg. per night for about three months! I don't feel nearly as much pain as I used to. I also take an Etodolac (Lodine) which is an anti-inflammatory in conjunction with it, and two Tagamets for my stomach. I DO still feel groggy and loaded for about a half hour to an hour when I get up in the mornings, but that's okay - it passes. Also, I've had a little bit of nausea at times. But, being as much out of pain as I am is definitely worth it!
