I was diagnosed with fm about 2 years ago, but i had it for about 6 before i had a diagnosis made. The symptoms started when I was 16. I was pretty young. The basis really is your sleeping patterns need to be under control it is the basis for all the pain. My doctor says that Trazodone works the best out of anything hes seen and he's been treating strictly fibro patients for a long time. A good pain med once the sleep is controlled is also necessary no matter what a stupid doctor says, you need to find one that will do that. The doctors that treat this well are few and far between and that is the major problem with this syndrome. My doctor moved 2 hours away to albany so i go there to see him, i will not allow any other doctor to treat it, been that route and had bad results.
right now i take
Cymbalta- 60mg (not sure how i feel about this yet)
Topamax- 100mg
Trazodone- 100mg
Vicodin-5/500mg as needed
Adderall XR- 15mg
